Broke Reefer!
A few of my zoos have looked increasingly bad the past few days, and today my 2 acan colonies were shrunken. Tested my water this afternoon and my alk is pretty low. What can I do to increase it, and how long do I have to do so before I start losing stuff?
Ammonia/nitrite/nitrate = 0
pH = 8.25
Salinity = 1.025
Calc = 425
Mag = 1250 (I think - the water color turned blue at this mark - not quite as blue as the color on the paper, but it didn't turn any bluer despite additional drops after the 1250 mark)
Alk (from my basic test kit) = 2 meq/L
Total Alk (from advanced kit) = just under 2 meq/L
Borate Alk (from advanced kit) = 0.5 meq/L
Carbonate Alk (from advanced kit) = just under 1.5 meq/L
I haven't tested my water after making it up but will do so tonight. I also haven't rolled the bucket, but again will do so tonight. I'm using Seachem Reef Salt, and SeaChem test kits (basic, calcium, and mag/borate/carbonate/alk)
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
