I've been testing my water weekly, so this happened within the last week. Normally, my tests show no ammonia or nitrite, my nitrates around 15, and my pH around 8.2. Last week, I upgraded my RO to an RO/DI unit, and have been using that for topoffs and my PWCs. This evening when I tested, my nitrates had dropped to below 5 (hurrah! hurrah!) but my pH is around 7.8-8.0. Both ammonia and nitrite still at 0. I got a new Calcium test kit, and it shows 520 (wow--is that alot???) Being on the ditzy side, my first reaction was to freak out. Then, I returned to normal, and decided to post here. You've always been so helpful. So...what do I do?
BTW: 10G with ~30lbs LR and ~30lbs LS; 1 yellow goby, 3-4 mushrooms, 2-3 palys, 1 rock anemone, 1 small frogspawn coral, and 1 moon coral, plus several snails, 3 teeny porcelain crabs & 1 emerald crab. I have 96W of PC lighting, 1PH, and a 105 Fluval cannister which I clean every week.
