[Terry DeMott]

I am dosing 10mil a day with Triton . Test today alk is 9.1 start at 8.1 do i lower the dos or what ? Any ideas. thx

How much alk did your tank consume before you started dosing alk

 

[reefaland310]

This is on the clownfish 180. Right?

 

[reefaland310]

If so don't dose for two days. See where your alk drops to and divide by two and that is what your tank consumes daily

 

[Terry DeMott]

yes clown fish , coral

 

[reefaland310]

Do you need to find out how much it tank consumes daily

 

[reefaland310]

Then you can adjust your alkalinity according to that

 

[reefaland310]

It seems like your tank is not using that much alk or calcium. How long did it take to rise to 9.1

 

[Terry DeMott]

it took a wk to get to 9.1 turn dosing off will check the next few days

 

[reefaland310]

Yeah that's your best bet.
