A New Journey in Marine Reefs

You KH and MG is low.

You need to bring up your KH but slowly.

No drastic changes

Thanks Sherman! In that case, I shall ignore MG first? The reason why I tried to raise MG first was because it was way too low and thought KH would balance out later since it was acceptable for now.

I use to have this issue.

I keep toping with MG still low.

In the end everything go crazy.

Always ensure KH is acceptable.

Then top up the rest when necessary.

Cheers

I see. In that case, what is the ideal KH that I should achieve? I am hovering between 7.3-8 dKH and have the impression that it is within ideal range? For your kind advice, please.

Cheers!

While I am at it, another FTS for today.

I know its a crappy picture but until I get my camera, it will have to be my iphone and I apologise.

Try to keep KH above 8.But try not to go higher than 10

Whatever value you choose maintain it there.Do you make drastic changes of more than

0.5 within a day

Thanks Sherman! After keeping up with the MG dosing regime (increase of 20ppm spread over the entire day) for 8 days since the 28 Nov 2011, my parameters for the last two days are as follows:

4 Dec 2011

===========

Calcium 350-360ppm

KH 7.3-7.7dKH

MG 960ppm

5 Dec 2011

===========

Calcium 340-350ppm

KH 8.3-8.6dKH

MG 960-990ppm

PH is fluctuating between 8.30 (lowest) to 8.74 (highest). I am really not sure what is taking in MG in the water column and what cause the KH to finally increase above 8.

[sherman]

KH look good.

Maintain it and dose up the MG.

MG should be around 1380

Happy Reefing
