wow. where do i start......
first a little about my system:
135
2x150w 10k ab mh w/ 2x130w dual actinic
2 modded mj900s, 2 add'l mj900s
turboflotor1000 w/ oceanrunner 2500
quietone 6000 return
temp consistently 80-82
ph 8.3
nh3 0
no2 0
no3 0
po4 0
mg 1400
alk 10.2
ca 500
sg 1.025
i just started getting into sps with my first few montis. when i first put them in my sg was 1.020 (totally slipped my mind to test). now it's back upto 1.025 over 2 weeks. my mg was alos down to just above 1000. that is now up to 1400. all of my monti's started to brown out. since then i have seen some light pink on the edges of my red monti. does that indicate new growth? also, my ca never seems to drop, infact it increases over time. i use natural sea water with a ca of 420 for water changes and only top off with ro.
as far as the other montis, i have not seen any new growth (not really too sure what to look for) but i haven't seen any more tissue loss. i guess i'm just going to have to play a waiting game.
also, i will start dosing kalk, which is already made, but since my calcium is that high, i shouldn't. am i right? or should i dose anyway?
any suggestions would be great.
thanks in advance
