- Stressor events (alk spike, pH flux, nutrient spikes, etc. ) What can we . . .
I've had some minor stress events in my tank in the past and I've usually just worked to maintain stability and let things recover It's always worked well Over the past few months I've had an alk spike (7 5 to 10 in about a month and back down in about 2 months) and a rapid rise in nutrients
- Pros and Cons of Alkalinity and Calcium Dosing Methods
Because of these last two points, many aquarists combine kalkwasser (for the pH boost) and CaCO3 CO2 reactors (for a big amount of alk and calcium) in high demand systems
- Alkalinity rising without dosing. . . possible causes? | Reef2Reef
Over the past month or 2 I've been experiencing the very strange phenomenon of my alk rising without me dosing it I have a theory as to why that I'd like to run past you all I reintroduced a decent amount of sand that had been siphoned out of my tank from a while back, that was stored damp
- Alkalinity Calcium dosing and consumption | Reef2Reef
Alk I test with hanna and cross check with red sea alk and gives me a precise value to measure consumption on brs website, Good point I just checked my water with both Triton and ATI and calcium tested out with them at 450 whereas my Red Sea test came in at 400
- What is Alkalinity? | Reef2Reef
The hydroxide alkalinity (OH– – Alk), sometimes called the caustic alkalinity, is defined by some as the total alkalinity down to the carbonate equivalence point (about pH 10 7 in fresh water)
- High Alkalinity what does it really cause | Reef2Reef
Hi, What does really ahppen when you run High Alk in a tank Understand that low alk can cause coral skeletons to melt and that affects the flesh on top
- How do I dose 2 part properly? | Reef2Reef
I currently use 3 kamoer x1 dosing pumps for my 2 part soda ash, calcium chloride and magnesium mix (all BRS) I’ve heard that most of your alk swings drop during the day so people dose this during the day but how much? How far apart does a dosage of calcium and soda ash need to be separated
- What is the ideal alkalinity | Reef2Reef
In my experience, SPS polyp estension is greater (i would even say crazy polyp ex) with Alk level between 7-8 Alk above 8 and polyps dont extend so much But my usual Alk range fluctuates between 7-7 8 My No3 i keep between 3-6 When my parameters are stable, my corals start growing fairly quickly But as we all know, some corals grow faster and some slower
