I have some problems with the water values. Alkalinity is rising and Calcium and Magnesium are going down.
I dose component 123 8x 25 ml of each component per 24 hours.

Ca 390
Mg 1240
Po4 0.015
No3 1

What should I do???
 
Hey we will need more details than those numbers. Total water volume, system detail, what else you dose etc. Also how much 123 are you actually dosing as 8x25ml is 400ml of each component and thats quite a bit to dose each day.
Also what was your alkalinity and how much decreased over how many days?

sorry for missing the rest of the information. I have been using it for half a year now, together with abev, phosphate minus and zeomix, of all the recommended amount.

sysyeem is 100x50x50 with a water content with sump of 310 liters. The tank is full sps. I change weekly 10% with probiotic salt. Alkalinity was always 7.5, but lately it has risen and I stop the consumption of component 2 for One day. The next day it has usually dropped by 1.5 points till 7 a 7,5
Now it is between 8.5 and 9

Personally, I think it is also a lot, but I really dose this amount[emoji85]
Every month I have to buy new jerry cans from the component123

Its a very nice looking tank.With that many SPS you can have a high demand of components. I would suggest dose calcium and magnesium individually to bring up the level where you want them and continue dosing the components as usual. How long it took to reach 8.5 from 7.5? Is it steady at 8.5 with current dosing or its moving up continuously?

Tomorrow I'm going to do a water change and then correct Ca and Mg manually. Then continue with the current doses of 123.
I will keep an eye on whether Kh remains stable or whether it will increase.
