Calcium and magnesium issues

Ah ok. We'll hold off on dosing any more Mg. Manually add alk and cal until you get to your target range and turn up the reactor effluent.

From what i read it sounds like your not that concerned about alk in my opinion it's the most important thing to test it can go too high or too low pretty easy especially with a new calcium reactor I would be testing alk and ca every day tell dialed in.

I think your alk is a bit high. From my experience every time my alk goes above 9dkh (3.21 meg) my sps gets burn tip.

The readings are not consistent based on the amount of frags/corals you have in your tank. I would test twice just to be sure or get new test kits. Once you have confirmed that your parameters are correct then adjust everything slowly.

I would do mag first, alk, then cal. But if everything in your tank are doing well then I wouldn't panic.

If both mag and alk are high then you should let them drop naturally. Just add calcium manual until all parameters are in checked then turn back your calcium reactor.

Do you have a controller for your cal reactor?

Old post but still would like to know if you have resolved your issue.
