Ok so I did my tests just now and I;m getting worried. My calcium has come down to 450 but my alkalinity was at 5.7! It used to run around 10 or so but I've been adding corals left and right.
What and how do I do this? I know a dosing pump is the way to go but I totally don't understand how and where I'd put it. And when dosing two part isnt one calcium and the other for alk? I'm good on calcium already though....And is there a "cheap" dosing system? (not that anything is cheap in sw but I figured I'd ask)
I have a buffer I've used a few times that raised my dkh and my ph as well but how often would I have to use that?
Would a system like two little fishies two part be ok? I went looking on bulk reef supply but got even more confused.
As a side note my corals are thriving but now I wonder if they can be doing even better....
Please be gentle with me, I have no idea what to do with this two part stuff. And I;m not totally swift sometimes so I need it explained well and like you were telling a 10 year old. LOL
Thanks guys I appreciate the help as always...
