Every thing was going good until I got a magnesium test. When I tested it was off the chart maybe somewhere around 1500 or 1600. So I did a 5 gal water change every 3 days and is still high and now my alk has dropped. here are my last results
SG=between 1.024-1.025
Ammonia=0
Nitrate=0
Temp=78
PH=8.2
Cal=475
Mag=1300 to 1400
Alk was 3meq or 8.4 dkh
Now is 2meq or 5.6
I use C-Balance once a week. Seems like with the corals I have I should be using more? I do have some pro buffer by Kent should I use that to bring the dkh back up? then what should I do with the mag?
Correct me if I am wrong but the mag should be 3 times the cal.
So to sum it up what can I do to get the mag down and the dkh up to 10 or 12?
