Hi all. Newb with these parameters. Been researching for the last 4 hours trying to make sense of this jazz. Ive been spinning round and round trying to understand how these molecules or what not, bond and blah blah blah. I'll get it but, at this point I ask for help.
Current testing,
Cal-300
Mag-840
Alk-13.4 dkh !
Ph- 8.2
I read high alk= low cal. And low mag tends to cause low cal. Which makes perfect sense given my test. I really need to balance these numbers out.
My question is, where do I start? Mag? Cal? I think eventually my alk should come down but I'm afraid of raising it anymore trying to fix the others. Grrrrr can I get some help? It appears my cal is staying right around 300 and for the last 2 months my alk has been rising and, I'm assuming dropping my mag. My concern is my cal at this point but, I cant have it really drop mag more. I've been using instant ocean basic salt mix ( I just have a condy nem but recently got a chalice colony at a great price, rushing my concerns). Looking into the reef crystals I think it is, for the mag help per the bag.
Thanks guys!
