No sweat. I posted so I could get advice. Just trying to figure it all out. I only dosed for mag because it was low. Like 900 low. I know that alk and calc are impossible to keep stable when your mag is low. I tested these params and noticed the dkh was high. I of course started doing alot of water changes, which yielded high dkh still. I was baffled. I checked my fresh batch of water and then realized that was 11.5-12 right out of the box.
Now all I can do is monitor my results, now that I have switched the salt and replaced my bulbs. I tested params yesterday and I am at
mag 1200
Cal 440
dkh 10.5
sg 1.025
I might look into getting a chiller. Running the 2 250watt halides are obviously getting the tank on the warmer side
what size JBJ artica would you guys recommend?
