Yep - Bummer:yes:

I know - numbers you can deal with but high medium and low:thinking:

Oh my PH is at 8.2 right now going to 8.3 - temp is 78 staying and I need a better Alk test kit I suppose. It reads LOW-MED-HIGH Ugly Uh What would the numbers be in the Med range????? The kit says Med is ok but I wonder what the number are. Red Sea is the kit.

That make me feel alot better Kip

I can't help but wonder what my fish will think as I start dosing for Higher Ca, adjusting P04, Alk and so on. They were used to pretty plain stuff. I'm thinking of their general health in this climb?? I'll do it slowly but will it be tough on them or is this something they won't really...

Would 5watts per gal get me to medium??

My coral banded won't clean my hippo or yellow tangs. He will let them close but with pincher out ready for action but not cleaning. Gotta love his attitude. Onry cuss. Get a Scarlett Cleaner:yes:

So then Alkalinity is a different test from the ph? My lfs only reads ph, nitrite and ammonia. I'll have to get cought up on the kits and learn to read myself. I have seen some posts on Kalkwasser. I try to find them again if Possible. thanks

I was FOWLR so I'm really new on the chemistry stuff I don't have a ca suplement yet gotta go buy something today to get started. My test kit has a correction buffer but I'd probably use it all up to I thought I'd go get an 8 oz. bottle size to start my gradual intro into this. My test kit was...
