Hey guys,
I just did my weekly water check today and here are the results
Temp - 79
pH - 8
NO2 - 0
NO3 - 0
Ammonia - 0
Phosphates - 0
DkH - 7
Salinity - 1.025
Calcium - 445
My question is whether I can bring up my Alk level to above 8, but I noticed that most doses are Alk and Calc together, however, my Calc levels are fine...
PS. I also want to raise my pH but I have a suspicion that its a little low because of my low Alk levels.
Some other things you might need to know is that I spot feed my tank every other day, I have one fish and a few corals. I dose trace elements and iodine every 4th day and a weekly 20% water change (I do have to admit that although I try to keep on that schedule, once in a while Im a day or two behind)
Any help would help... thanks!!!!
