i'm using agonite sand.... nvr add additive before... no ammonia and NO2.... nvr test NO3 coz no NO3 test kit.....

my tank is 4-5months old liao... all corals and LS or veri healthy..

using only hang-on filter.. chging to sump(waiting for sump to finish disolving salt)

test kit:

Test water from another reefer's tank or from water taken from the fish farm. All will be known by then.

Check Kh first.... If it is below 6dkh then your ca is really high. If that is the case add pH buffer into your water. It will bring your ca down. Otherwise your test kit spoilt. If ca still dosen't gon down add mg

cheers

Bro think it is better to test your Mg level before adding buffer.If low, you will be juz wasting the buffer.Correct Mg first.
