Low PH.. What to do?

[J Rog]

I use a 7part buble Magnus doser and still top off with kalk lol.... Saves me money on 2 part and for some reason my corals love it.... I have experienced tremendous growth since I started using it... I kick my self all the time for the years I didn't ..

lol wow! Well I have this other stuff now.. I will try that next to see if I get better results. What all do you does in your tank?

Cal,alk,mag,strotium,potassium,vodka,mb7 lol

Nice! 3 things... What is mb7? And how is the vodka working out for you? How much of it do you dose?

Sooooo my new Hanna tester is reading zero for Phosphate.. What else could be causing my algae issue??

 

[Troylee]

Mb7 is microbacter 7 that and vodka is a win!!!! As for your Hanna checker makes sense all of them do there worthless... Also your algae is given you false readings.... I have a huge thread on the p04 checker

 

[J Rog]

lol sweet.. well im glad my algae is lying to me and its not really there because my Hanna says so.. lol Well, crap.. I have brightwell phosphate remover.. I was waiting to try it until after i got my reading.. But there is no good reading to base my dose on.. So I guess I will try to put some in to see if it helps anyway.. If im running a carbon and GFO reactor, would you still suggest dosing vodka?

How does kalk affect dosing of alk, cal, and mag? Obviously evaporation rates change depending on air movement and temperature. Are the affects of kalk on alk and cal minimal enough to not really matter?

It's another source of calcium and alk...

Kalk is my Ca and my Ca reactor is my Alk. I use reactors for both.
