Having a horrible time starting this tank. I moved 3 corals softy's and 7 fish from a 210 to a 310.
Just did some test
Alk KH 8 don't like it below 7 or above 10
Cal 380 yes a little low needs to be 400
Meg 1200 yes it's low too and needs to be 1350
Ammonia 0
Phos 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrate 5
This morning the tanks a little cloudy,
Here one question when raising the meg can you just rase it by it,s self ?
Also tested the new salt meg is only at 1000 can I add meg to it
Not going to put anything in the tank till it clears up
Was going to do a 30 gal water change Sunday and another latter this week same amount. Need to get a bigger can
 
Instant Ocean Reef Crystals Salt Mix 200 Gallon Box.
I using the BRS additives got all 3 Alk, cal, meg package mix it up your self. Last a long time.
Just did there calculator 1350 mil wow thats a lot, not going to put that much in at one time. That was to get it to 1250. Little at a time maybe a week or to to get it up.

I'm going to do a small water change 30gal, have to get more salt today.and see about a bigger jug say 50gal

On my 210 I did a 25 every two weeks, was thinking 50 for this one.

Redid the meg test on the new saltwater 1200 same as my tank,

Question
1. can I add meg to the new saltwater before the change.
2. Just adding meg to the tank will it get any more precipitation? it's not a snow storm, just a little hazy
