Alkalinity

[bugarte1]

Hey was wondering if my Alk was too low ? It's at 8dkh. If it is how high should it be and how would I bring it up ? I have a couple of LPS frags and one green BTA. 29 gallon tank.

Nope 8 is fine. Mine is around 8 and all my lps and sps grow great.

I agree, that should be fine. I tend to run it a bit higher in my reef, but if you intend to do that it requires some additional equipment and monitoring because it has to be dosed consistently. If you are maintaining eight, I wouldn't mess with it.

Ok cool

This is the test of my water

Let me know if I should make any changes or if I should test anything else

Thanks

Looks fine. For most reef tanks, a PO4 test can be beneficial, though it isn't necessarily a requirement.
