Broke Reefer!
As you might know, I've been having problems keeping my alk up. Had it tested professionally 2 days ago and it was all the way down to 1.7meq/l. I've been dosing a few times a week with Seachem Reefbuilder, but I'm nervous about overdosing or raising the alk too quickly. The problem is that its so low that despite dosing and water changes I can't seem to raise it high enough just to get into the decent range without it being depleted again. I have no idea why its being depleted so quickly, because my calcium and magnesium are both high and don't seem to be being depleted at a similar rate. Today both of my acans are shrunken and I'm starting to get really concerned that I'm going to start losing stuff in a big way. Can someone help me out in terms of how much I can dose to raise the levels back into a safe range without shocking my tank?
