Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
I use oceanic salt, all those levels are from the salt no additives

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
This is probably just from the photo but the structural integrity of those rocks looks flimsy. Is it fairly solid?

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
Its pretty solid, now that i have snails im a bit worried bout them though, hopefully nothing gets squished. About the dKh i needed to read the instructions a little more carefully its actually 8 as i didnt notice it still had a blue tint is 8 in the range?

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
8 is just a tad low.Most folks shoot for 9 to 12 DKH.
I'm using Oceanic salt too,and my DKH like to hang right around 14 most of the time.

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
I've always wondered....if having a dkh higher than 12 is better or worse for the tank. Also what if calcium is over 500? Just curious oh wise ones.

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
Should i test a fresh batch of saltwater and see if maybe something in the tank is dropping the alk? there seems to be alot of dark red and light red sp6ts on my large rock that dont look like algae maybe sponges? do sponges need alk to?

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
If it's red and looks like algae it's cyano! Kill it! Kill it dead!
