I have a FOWLR tank + a few snails and hermits. Wanting to get a cleaner shrimp so I've started checking my Ca & Kh. Ca was low (330ppm) and Kh and pH were about spot on in the desired range (KH - 180ppm, ph - 8.3).
I got some Red Sea Reef Foundation ABC+ and does a bit, like maybe 60g over the course of 3 days (to get Calcium to about 400 I calculated I needed to dose 120g or more).
Now Ca is still very low - 340ppm
Kh - 190ppm, pH - 8.4. I don't want these to get any higher.
I have some Calcium Chloride on the way so I'm planning to dose that when it arrives.
Any advice anyone can give me?
Using all API test kits, by the way.
