Clown79 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 If things are happy don't mess with things. It could be the salt you use that mixes high. It could be an imbalance in alk/ca, which could be from low mag. What does your salt mix at for alk, ca, mag What levels are ca and mag at in the tank? Quote Link to comment

Its effected by photosynthesis, gas exchange. Alk and ph work together. What salt are you using and have you tested newly mixed sw? Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Red sea coral pro, has very high alk. If you don't like high alk, then you will need to use a salt that doesn't mix to that. You can check online what that particular batch mixes at and then test newly mixed salt Its generally advised to do that because it's your target number. Quote Link to comment

mcarroll Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Could be testing weirdness. Try testing something else as a sanity test on the kit itself....like a sample of tap water. See what you get. Quote Link to comment
