Did a water change yesterday, tested the water again.
I also just started my first log for my tests. This should be helpful in the future.
Salinity: 1.025
Alk: 11 dkH
Calc: 400 ppm
Nitrate: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
pH: 8.1
So as you can see, my alkalinity jumped a bit this past week. I put 15 mL of calcium in to see if it would help my alkalinity drop a bit. From earlier posts, I understand that I shouldn't be worried about it being that high (11 dKH). However though, I am worried that it fluctuated that much in about 1.5 weeks. Is this bad/normal?
