How do you increase CA when it won’t increase?
I have been adding a two-part calcium and alkalinity supplement (ESV B-ionic) 12 out of the last 14 days
I add 20 mg of each part as instructed.
My current CA levels are pretty much where I started 2 weeks ago.
Calc = 315 mg/L (ppm)
Alk = 2.5 meq/L
I test just about every other day and have never seen an increase of more than 10.
I can't get the Ca to rise.
Temp is always stable 78-79 (Chiller)
I do a 20 percent water change every other Saturday.
The water is always RO
SG = 1.024
Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate < 10
Phosphate = 0
PH = 8.3
I am concerned that my Corals are not in the correct environment.
Other than what I am doing does anyone have any advice ?
Thanks.
