Alright...
So a few weeks ago I had made a similar post trying to get help with my Ca/kH/Mg issues. I since have purchased Warner Marine 2 part and been dosing 12mL of each everyday. My test kits just came today and here are the results:
Ca - 370
kH - 5.5
Mg - 1090
Whats going on?! Warner Marine suggests 5mL/25 gallons 3 times per week. My tank has a total volume of 75 gallons. That equals 15mLs x3 = 45 mLs per week. Im currently dosing 84 mLs per week and still cant get the levels up. This would make sense to me if my tank was packed with sps but i only have zoas, a duncan head, and gsp. My only two guesses on whats going on is either my ridiculously purple rock is soaking it all up and/or the low Mg isnt allowing the Ca and kH to rise. Ill give as many details about the tank below as I can to help you guys help me. Ive about had it and am unfortunately close to calling it quits as I am losing pieces that i have NEVER had die on me (anthelia, zoas).
Ammonia - 0.25 - 0.50 (this is the first time Ive seen a slight bump since I started the tank)
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0
Phosphate - 0
pH - 7.8 - 8.0
Temp - 78 - 80
Lighting - 4x54w T5
SCAquarium Skimmer - runs all day every day
Ball of chaeto in fuge
Lots of flow
Plenty of aiptasia unfortunately
Please ask any other relevant details. I really dont wanna give up on this but its not fun when you cant buy anything cuz youre scared of losing it. Thanks in advance everyone...
