Sg 1.025

This is pre-water change readings, doing a 20% right now. Suggestions please.

Hi you will probably find Raising your mag and lowering your po4 will help , then it should be better

 

[Jason mack]

how’s the flow in your tank ? It could also be irritated by what looks like a bubble tip next too it ..

 

[hdsoftail1065]

The flow seems to be good, running the Icecap 1k. I'll pop a video real quick.

It seems like a good place for it so long as it’s not getting blasted or something.. then I think it’s because your low mag . And high po4

Thank you sir, time for one more question?

 

[Jason mack]

Thank you sir, time for one more question?

Sure , fire away

 

[hdsoftail1065]

How do I raise the mag and lower the PO4? Sorry I know it's a dumb question, I don't mechanical dose, during my battle I bought some KH buffer trying to bring it up, then tried redsea abc

I think your Ca Mg and Alk are all low. If water changes are not keeping up with the demand, dosing may be needed.

What about nitrates, where is that at? Do you notice the frogspawn opening a bit during daytime and completely closing during night?
