I think you need to read up a lil on reef chemistry
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-06/rhf/index.php http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-12/rhf/index.php http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-0...ture/index.php http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/3/chemistry http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/2/chemistry I shoot for alk at 7-9 dkh (i try to avoid larger than +/- 1 dkh daily swings) calcium over 400 mag over 1300 |
