Hi, I recently tested my water. I didn't made a WC for 2 months in my reef, but I keep dosing NOPOX and running GFO to keep nitrates/phosphates unreadable.
I just noticed my chemistry seems not ok...
Alk: 5 dKH°
Ca: 390ppm
Mg: 1200ppm...
PH: Seems ok at 7.8 - 7.9
Should I raise them all ?
I already prepared 3 separates 1gal of topoff RODI water. I mixed calcium in one bottle, mg in the other, and alk in the last one. I calculated with a weight scale the required amount of each needed to bring params to:
Alk: 12dKH°
Ca: 440ppm
Mg: 1320ppm
Is it ok to make that change in an interval of 1.5 weeks ? (2 gal of evaporation on my 20g per week).
