Hi, Iff you have corals in your tank, you need to maintain Cal & Mag, with an eye on alk [kh] and sg. Ph will follow sg, Your mag will reduce very slowly [ maybe 100ppm over 1-2mth] Your Cal will reduce as per the amount of cal using absorbitants you have in the tank. Example [ 200ltr tank, 20corals,3 fish[9inc] cleanup crew and a crushed coral substrate ] will use approx 10-20ppm,standard stock /week. Possibly 2-4days depending on water paramaters.. This will vary as per tank, But iether way, start thinking like this, get a better understanding of it all, and you will soon be on top of it and have a lovely tank. Also remember 10-20%water changes [per 2wks or so] but remember this will not bring your Cal up to the level you need, it will just refresh and bring back your trace minerals. Regards.
