I have a 24g and a 10g tank, I mix the saltwater for them using reef crystals salt mix with a bit of seachem reef buffer, and perform 2 gal wc's per tank each week. I just did tests on both using API saltwater and reef master kits and a swing arm hydrometer, with the following results:
salinty- 1.025
ph- 8.1
ammonia- <0.25
nitrite- <0.25
nitrate- 0
calcium- 600ppm
Kh- 6-7dkh
Phosphate- 0
Could my low kh and high calcium levels be related to the salt mix? Could this be a matter of needing to dose buffer more accurately? I have noticed that my coraline growth is poor, but my fish, inverts and coral seem fine.
Any help is appreciated
