Hi all,
I have been having difficulties since I recently moved place with my 90g tank. Ive been struggling with alkalinity (always seems to be below 4). i tried using baking soda to bring it up with no luck. My LFS recommended I test calcium, salinity and magnesium alongside a large water change (I use the red sea coral pro). I have done this and still all parameters are whack. Id appreciate any tips if anyone has any.
Parameters:
Salinity: 1.025
Calcium: 305
Magnesium: 750
Alkalinity: 2.6
During this period I have lost all of my torches (5 total) all of my SPS except my birds nest which is hanging on by a thread. My zoas are alive but all retracted. Thankfully the fish are happy. Inverts are mostly fine - my Mexican turbo snails seem very unhappy though.
