Work In Progress
So, I was able to calculate my dosing to stabilize my Alkalinity and Calcium. My alkalinity is at 10.3 dKh and my Calcium is around 440. So based on the Red Sea reef foundation program they ask for me to try to get to 12.3 dkH and 465 Calcium. So I went ahead and dosed about 1dKh worth before my dosing schedule. I would assume at this point my Alkalinity would then raise by about 1 dKh when I test after the day at the same time I normally would. So I did a test and it is back at 10.3 and calcium dropped about 25 and it now at around 415 ppm. How is this possible? I want to add my Salinity is at 1.025 and Magnesium is about 1500 ppm. I do not want to add more buffer and try again as my calcium might drop again. Any ideas what is happening?
