very happy with this rescape, might have to move some things in the future though

chalices are starting to grow fast and some sps

I want to maintain my alk and raise mag and calc, but im dosing AFR right now
I think I may have to switch to 2 part unless a mixed reef can handle a higher alkalinity.
Any thoughts?

I think ill raise my AFR a little, try to see how things do at 10 dkh alkalinity, gonna do it slowly

If it was me, I would probably stay with AFR if you are already on it. If you switch to 2 part, now you will also have to add trace elements too since AFR has trace in it.

If you're already on AFR I would stick the course, and bump up Mg and Ca manually over a week (possibly use 2-part recipes, or just target) and see if it stays. If you just need to correct ~20ppm Ca every couple months, I wouldn't switch dosing over that

This is the way. Simply add the components you need to raise by having extra 2 parts (actually 3) on hand. What are your current numbers and how much you want to raise? It may turn out that you really don't need to raise anything. Remember, don't get stuck on set numbers, but ranges. If your calcium is between 380-450, good, if mag is 1280-1450, fine. Look up natural sea water parameters and you may be surprised at what you find.
