lajz9 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 How did the Alk get so high? Link to comment
kurtl000 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Adding buffer every time I topped off lol Oh btw would SPS be ok in this tank? Im assuming the high Alk wont bother them as much? I mean I fully intend on getting it back down to normal again. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 high alk will burn the tips.. don't worry about pH.. worry about keeping your alk at 10 and your calc at 400-420 Link to comment
