Hi everyone,
I have a 5-6 week old macro algae tank and am struggling to keep my alkalinity level stable. I am using Kent Nano Reef Part A and Part B.
When I wake up in the morning the alkalinity will be about 2.7 with the kh at 7.5. I will dose the recommended amount and it will bring my levels up to 3.4meq/l and 9.5dkh but by 7-8 hrs later it is back down to 2.7 and 7.5. The light is on for 12 hrs for my macros.
Some other info:
Tank is 12 gallon long (36x9x9)
36"current nova extreme 2 bulbs(one 10k and one pink)
2 powerheads-koralia nanos
Hob filter-aqua clear 30
Temp=79
salinity=2.015
calcium=420
kh/alk=see above
Ammonia-0
Nitrites-0
Nitrates=trace amount (less than 5)
I dose Kent liquid calcium daily and dose the Kent nano reef a/b daily.
I am using 100% ro water and doing 25%water changes weekly
The salt is made by instant ocean
Help!
Thanks in advance!
