Hi all.
So I experienced an alk spike. My tank has been quite consistent in terms of alk, Ca and Mg. Constant automated dosing and weekly testing does the trick- Normal value is 7.1-7.5 and 440.
Las week my Ca rose to 500 and Alk to 9,9- Double checked.
The only change was that I have increased trace elements dosing (red sea reefer colors) to match the cal consumption of the tax, as recommended by the manufaturer.
I do not see a direct relationship between dosing Trace Elements and alk spike, but probably a crazy cycle or phYsiological reaction.
Let me know if youe need additional background
Thanks for any input.
