So I haven't been the best with keeping track of my parameters the past few months, as everything up until now was consistent. I tested my DT water yesterday and my New Salt Water as well. Below were my findings...
DT
SG 1.026
Ca 425
Mg 975
Alk 6.72
pH 8.27
Temp 77.8
NSW (power head and heated for about a week)
SG 1.025
Ca 455
Mg 975
Alk 6.1
I used Salifert tests and Instant Ocean Reef Crystals. I’m pretty confused here. Not sure why my Alk has dropped significantly (even NSW). I’m using the same salt, kept heated with power head for about a week, sometimes more. Calcium is up, Mag is down? Not sure if I need to start dosing or not yet. Next Monday I'll make more NSW, a day before my next water change. Normally I would have made NSW yesterday after my water change. I'm really confused as I have never had this problem before. My Alk was always consistently around 10 and my Mg was always around 1200.
Any help is appreciated.
