Hello - I'm 3 months into an adopted 110g total system with an steadily growing fish & soft coral population, all of whom seem happy.
All things nitrogen are on track with <10 Nitrates and 0 'trites & ammonia. Coralline algae is blooming with minimal nuisance algae.

As of today:
6.5 Alk
8.0 pH
.1 Phos
421 Calc
1447 Mag

Using Coral Pro salt, mixed on the same day as weekly water changes. I'm adding a collection of soft & LPS frags in the coming week. I'm a little baffled by the Alk & Mag #'s. Any thoughts?

Thank you!
 
do you want something on how to fix this or why this happened? i dont know why this happened (happened to me awhile ago) but to fix it i just use high quality baking soda, there is an app for this, but i forgot the name
 
Yes & yes.
