The latest tests came back as of 1/2/2013...
MG 1400
DKH 7.7
CA 365
SG 35ppt
It seems that my alk and ca are low and have been like that for a few months. I have dosed for both (Kent DKH buffer and CA)....without any success.
I am concerned it might be my salt. I have purchased Brightwell Aquatics bucket most recently. I have used H2O Ocean pro plus and Reef Crystals in the past.
I am looking now to go to Instant Ocean b/c I have seen many people are using this salt and are happy with it. My SW changes haven't been as frequent lately as they have in the past though.....I have slipped on my husbandry. I am now just trying to regroup and get a grasp on the water chemistry.
