I just tested my reef tank and got the following results:
PH 7.9
Alk 14.4
Salt 1.025
ORP 453
Phos 0
Calcium 440
Amonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40
My big concern is the alkalinity. My PH has been low (and I did the test the water inside/outside to see if it is room CO2 and it wasn't) so I have been using part B of the Kent Marine 2 part buffer system to work on the PH.
2 weeks ago the calcium had been 560, so now I would say it is in the normal range.
Nitrates are too high, but I am doing a water change tomorrow and that should take care of the Nitrates.
What do I do about the alk, never had it that high?
Thanks for helping!
