Oh man, next time if it goes below 7.5 then dose 75-100ml. But your Ca did not Change and how the Mg increases without dosing???

I dont know whats going on with your Mg but your Alk is regularly moving down. So, dose 75 ml now and if its lower than 7.2 then dose another 100 ml. When is your water change due?

 

[ken77]

Water change was due march 25. Should i recheck alk after dosing the 75 mls tonight or wait till in the morning?

 

[Anirban]

You can check it tomorrow morning. I think its time we do a water change.

 

[ken77]

Ok 10 percent?

 

[Anirban]

10% should be good.

 

[ken77]

Ph was 7.11 this morning so i added the 100mls. I will do 10 percent water change when i get home this afternoon

 

[ken77]

Lol it is early i ment alk was 7.11

 

[Anirban]

Just measure your kh, Ca and Mg before water change and after 2 hours of water change.

 

[ken77]

Alk 7.17
