Ive got a 210g (see equip in signature) which has been up for about 8 weeks. Everything is good with the tank- just going through the new tank algae phases. Water testing today:
Temp: 80.3
PH: 8.34
SG: 1.026
Amm: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Alk: 4.23
Magn: ~1800
Ca: 380
ORP: 305
The glaring issue here is the Ca. Ive buffed and buffed and buffed (with Seachem reef advantage Calcium) and I cannot get it above 380. I am thinking this is due to the high Magnesium and possibly Alk. I had a 200g bucket of Reef Crystals which was the source of the Magnesium. What should I do now? Is there a way to lower Magnesium? Do you think the Alk is a contributing factor? Any advice would be appreciated...
