thairun Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 yup you can do that bro, measure the ca/mg from the water change and it will decrease Agreed with Oni, WC is enough within this 2-3week but pls check your KH level consistantly maintain that level. Never drop them rapidly +/-2dkh in a day, you wil see STN on your SPS if you keep one. Long running high Ca and mag may shorten your equipment life span, calcification take place. Best recommendation for keeping SPS KH - 8-10 Ca - 410- 450 Mag- 1300-1400 Happy reefing!
