Anyone else running NeoMarine and get low Alk? I am trying to get more serious about my reef keeping and really make it a goal to keep and grow SPS long term.
I have tested in the past and always got an Alk of 7.0 or so with freshly mixed water, they claim 7.5. I chalked it up to improper mixing habits IE adding salt to cold water.
This go around I followed their instructions to a tee and got 6.8. I am trying to maintain Alk between 7.5-8 dkh, so not ideal. Thinking about switching to Red Sea blue bucket as I am almost through the NeoMarine.
