Was not sure whether to post this here or I the reef chemistry forum"¦.
These are the test results from my 90g SPS tank all of these levels have stayed consistent for the last 10 days except for the Phosphate which was .36pmm 4 days ago I did a 30% water change and change the media in my GFO/carbon reactor the next day the Phosphate dropped to 0.19ppm and has stayed there for the last four days I know that the Phosphate is still high I plan on another 30% water change tonight. I have a few questions on some of my other levels first off is this high a level of magnesium bad or dangerous in any way? I have discontinued does Magnesium for the time being until it drops to about 1500ppm. The other question is the PH what can I do to bring it up?
Calcium 460ppm
Alkalinity/KH 8.6
Magnesium 2000ppm
Phosphate 0.19ppm
SG 1.024
Temp 77-79F
PH 7.89
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate <5ppm
 
are you monitoring PH or did you test it? when did you test it beginning of light cycle or end of light cycle?

The high magnesium levels shouldn't cause any problems. I wouldn't mess with your pH, 7.89 is fine. If you do want to bring it up you can dose kalk (pickling lime).
