I’ve had my reactor dialed in for a few months and I’ve recently been getting much more coraline growth but what’s been confusing me is that my alk keeps going up (@ 10.5 right now) and calcium has been going down (@400 right now), between the extra growth of coraline algae and growth from sps , I figured the calcium dropping is normal , so I cranked up effluent slightly and adjusted co2 to keep ph steady , my alk keeps climbing but calcium won’t budge so I broke out an old brs doser and started dosing just esv calcium to bring up the calcium slowly.... I did a water change recently to bring down alk but it kept climbing with the calcium reactor running so I shut it down , stopped effluent while just keeping the reactor pump circulating internally.... any advice or suggestions?
Ph-8.3
Alk-10.5
Cal-400
Mag-1400
Nitrates-.10
Po4-.02
Salinity-1.026
Temp-77.7
Carx-Reborn & remag (mixed with old crushed up sps skeletons)
Using apex as controller, ph probe was calibrated during setup...
My tridents been acting funky so all test kits were salifert
