I recently added a large quantity of maricultered SPS to my tank (2 weeks ago) and I'm seeing that my KH has dropped from 10.5 to 8.5. My calcium is high at 495. My PH has remained stable at 8 for some time (I'd like that a bit higher but I think 8 is still in the acceptable range).
I have a 230g tank and have been dosing B-Ionic nightly for the last year. Logic says stop the Calcium dose and increase the ALK but I've read that is not the correct thing to do, and that a balanced dose is what I should be doing.
This has me feeling a bit confused how to get my levels where they should be, so I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to deal with this. I've read about baking soda and Kalk, but I wouldnt' dare use either without really understanding how much to use and how often.
Thanks very much for your thoughts!!!
