I know i have posted about this a million times but it just worries me cause i know these are 2 of the main factors in coral care/growth.
My original test showed my calc at like 540 and my alk at like 140 right in there im not sure if that exact but its pretty darn close i would say that was about a month to a month and half ago.
I dont dose anything at all for either calc or alk.....the only thing i dose in my tank is reef plus: vitamin and amino acid supplement.
i have been measuring these 2 prob. once a week and my params today are calc 500 and alk right at 130......those have been pretty stable numbers for the past 2 to 3 weeks with the calc at 500 and the alk at 130.
Again i know you guys said just let it come down on its own and of course when it gets in the appropriate range, start dosing to keep it in that range.
so am i still ok with them a little high and still continue to wait for them to come down on there own? I just want to make sure all the coral and stuff will be ok....i mean everything in the tank is thriving now even my xenias kinda came back to life and grew a little and are begining to pulsate again. the fish are all great all is good and im not gonna chase numbers but more or less just wanted some advice and someone to tell me its ok and they have heard of just naturally high numbers for alk and calc.
all my other params are fine:
ph 8.0
trates and trites 0
ammonia 0
