Calcium, magnesium n PH LEVELS

[hammadkatiyar]

I have fowlr tank. Is it necessary to maintain to calcium, magnesium n PH level? If yes then what levels I should maintain for above?

In a FOWLR I can't see where it would matter at all. Ca and Mg would have to be almost undetectable to be a significant problem.

PH yes, 7.8-8.3, Ca and Mag no. Should only need to monitor that with a reef set-up.

No need for calcium and magnesium in a fowlr. You get all you need in the salt mix you use and then some. ph you need to monitor as it you increase the risk of illness if it's out of parameters and it indicates the stability of your aquarium. If you switch to a reef tank like I have recently, you'll have lots of calcium to add to the tank and mag etc. So keep that in mind a reef setup requires much more equipment and testing.

How do I maintain ph bcoz PH decreases as no fresh air comes in my room n my tank is in AC room. Do I keep dosing pump in order to maintain PH?

 

[fishroomlady]

you don't need to monitor ph if you're doing regular maintenance (water changes) and your fish are healthy and eating. That's my .02.

I change 20 percent water every after 15 days

macro algaes (usually in a refugium) will prevent all that.

Everyone is correct that a fowlr doesn't totally need calcium/alk/mag but using the diy 2 part will help grow corraline algae, whatever hard corals, plus hard macros that hitchhiked on the live rock.

still just my .02
