Ok I'm not sure what is happening, but I musta done something wrong. My water appears slightly cloudy and most of my critters are closed up. My mushrooms are a little smallish, zenia and anthilia not quite open, my mushroom toadstool and cabbage leather are not extended....zoos and polyps are fine.???? My water params are temp-80.1, PH 8.2, ammo <10ppm(always been this reading with my kit), nitrates 10ppm(lowest its been in awhile...some good news) I'm still having the low CA problem-255, but it's been like this and never had an issue, my KH is 14.7 and alk 5.2...really high I know, but how do I drop it?...it's also been that way for a long while like my CA. I don't know what my MG is cause my kit is on backorder . I just did a WC last week with RO/DI as usual and plan on doing another one tommorrow. This just started today...I'm hoping its just some fluke and will be OK tommorrow, but you know how that goes. Oh the only thing I have changed is I started dosing CA with Seachem Reef Calcium last week instead of Warner Calxmax. I followed the CA calculator suggestion for raising my CA using that product, but I havent even been putting as much in as it suggested because I was afraid of raising my CA too quickly......any ideas anyone?? Oh and my skimmer has been producing skimmate like mad too, more than usual.
