API turned yellow at 6 drops
Hannah read : 6.6

some kind of precipitation event? Check some fresh mixed when you get a chance. I doubt 3 test were faulty.

If your fresh mix tests good id do a few wc to get things back in line. Although that will further lower nutrients.

Update: tested water parameters at LFS these were the results, alkalinity calculated to 5.3, my LFS said it is probably better to just start dosing alkalinity as opposed to doing a water change and my salinity was 1.026

I'm no expert. My question is why is your alk so low? This doesn't seem to be getting answered. It makes no sense with the corals you have and the salt you use and the wc schedule it shouldn't be that low ever. Something has happened in your chemistry some precipitation or something. I'm unsure how or why with your other parameters being what they are. Dosing could be the answer it could continue doing whatever it's doing now. Is your sand hard anywhere?

That’s what we are not sure I found another problem my temp was way to high could that be it it’s at 84 F. Silly me forgot to set the heater back to 71 had it like at 78-80 plus the light heat and the summer coming in

Might be why corals aren't doing so great. Doesn't explain alk issue.

Yea gonna see how they do now that I set the heater to the proper temp, also going to setup my red sea doser today and see what update I get in a week or so, thanks for the help
