Fellow reefers,
HELP!!!!! I have been trying to bring up my calcium level now that I am starting to add coral.
my water parameters:
ph 8.3
SG 1.025
temp 77
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate < 5
Calcium ~375
Alkalinity 9dKH
Magnesium ~1300
I have been trying to dose with ESV 2-part. I started with 100ml of each part calcium went from 350 to 375 and 8 to 9 dKh after a week........
I upped the dose to 150ml each part and no change to parameters. I finally upped the dose to 200ml each part 2 nights in a row and no change I tested last night both before and 1hr after dosing and no change. Also I thought I saw evidence of precipitation, there was white particles floating in the water.
I am using D&D H20cean Pro and my Refractometer was calibrated with proper cal solution.
What do I need to do at this point I know my utilization is no where near what I am dosing I do not have any SPS and only 4 small LPS colonies.
