Always do testin before rectifyin any of ur water problems. So pls perform a Mg test before listernin to others and follow blindly.

Perform a 25% water change, test ur Ca and dkh again. If dkh still low then u buff up ur carbonate hardness using supplements.

btw....ur thread doesn't belong here in the sps section.

Ur thread is very general, anybody can also be havin high Ca....low dkh in their system, be it a lps, sps or mix reef. Frm wat i c, u r juz experiencin screw-up water condition.

Unless u r facing prob with ur sps or any sps related issues then it deem appropriate to be posted in this sps section.

Anyway, back to ur question. If u r wanna keep and willin to spend on sps. Then dun thrift on buyin the neccessary test kit.

A CR will be ur ticket to a less hassle free tank once its properly tuned but of coz there r "more than meet the eyes".

Sorry bro, I'll be a little blunt here, hope you don't mind. Probably you like to read up all the basic first before spending further money on SPS.

Test kit ###### up. Re-measured 2 more times, showed calcium at 400ppm. just bought Mg testkit from reef depot. The LFS around my area dose not have Mg test kit.
