the struggle continues and I am at a total loss.
For the past few weeks I have tested my water at the same time each time. My alkalinity has tested at 8.5 each time. I'm OK with that. Would like it to be at 9.0, but I can't get it to budge.
The calcium always tests at 250, and that's way too low for my liking. Just the other night, I added 50ml of calcium to the water to see what my levels would be at at the next test session. For some odd reason that stayed at 250 still. I would have expected to see a spike, but nothing.
I have since increased my dosing by 12 minutes, spread out over 6 hours.
I'll see what that does tomorrow night when I test.
My BRS dosers start running an hour after lights out, and alternate dosing times between the two so they dose individually
But as of right now, no matter how much I add, those two numbers won't move.
Maybe I am not adding enough at one time to make a noticeable change, but I am nervous about over dosing.
corals and nem seem OK, but I am a little uneasy about where the parameters are sitting.
any suggestions?
