Stay there with the dosing of NP pro and Pro Bio s. I would wait 1 weeks to see the reaction if the system to raising the alk. that was pretty quick to go from 6.4 to 8.6

What do you mean wait one week to see the reaction if the system to raising the alk?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

True.

 

[120reefkeeper]

1 dkh per day is the absolute fastest you can raise it safely. Like I said in my post. Easy brother these things take time.... have patience.

Imagine for a moment walking on a seesaw.... when something goes up others go down.... this is why small moves are best or you can get very fast erratic swings and you'll be bouncing all over the place.

And there's the serious possibility testing error. It's built in to the test.

We just don't want you to crash.

That's right I even quoted my own post lol

What we are doing is finding that balancing point.

Imagine balancing an egg on your shoe.... this is what we are trying to do. It's a sensitive thing .

Slow and steady wins this race.

Oh I get it bro but if you want to see a nightmare then go fast.... you'll have nightmares for sure.

I've been through nightmares I can't even speak of.

The days before the internet were hellish !

I've had several crashes, wipe outs , total losses , resets. You can't imagine...

Learn from those that have been there, don't become a statistic!

Just go slow and you'll be fine . Listen to the advice given and you'll be fine. Just be prepared this is gonna take awhile .[emoji6]

Good advice

Ok guys, @jsker,@120reefkeeper,@anirban,@saltyfilmfolks
Tested today....FINALLY my mag went down! And calcium dropped as well as alk so now they are being used! Alk is 7.0 cal 410 mag 1540! 1540! This is not doing any water changes.... if I concluded correctly... that means the salt is incorrect.... correct?

 

[domination2580]

I dosed accordingly to get alk up to that point...it was at a 6.7 and added a tad more to bring it up to around 7.8... added done calcium to bring it back up to 440 according to red sea cal supplement... using the last that I have....

 

[domination2580]

Nitrates are still 20....so still decent on that.

 

[jsker]

woohoo the system is starting to absorb elements. Only dose Alk and the Mg consumption will start to lower you Mg.
