So I just lost my first SPS frag and I'm a little upset. Yes, it was a $5 frag but it still irritates me. The frag tank had low pH and I'm sure thats what caused the SPS to recede and die.
So I used 15ml of 2-part B Ionic to jump my pH. 15ml of each part. pH was really low. I tested about 20 minutes after the dose and it was up around 8.0.
Now I test an hour later and it's low again. How much can I keep dosing it? Can I keep putting in 15ml every couple hours and see if it'll stabilize? How do I get the pH up and make it STAY up?
I know somebody is going to mention cO2 - trust me thats not the problem. With the overflows and the sump and baffles - this thing sounds like a small waterfall in my apartment. I can hear water sloshing all the way in the back bedroom. It's getting plenty of oxygen through all that sloshing and surface contact.
Kalk doser?
