Can anyone tell me what the relationship of Calcium, Magnesium, and Alkalinity in a tank?
I have a 46 gal tank with the following corals and fish
384W PC lighting - 3 month old bulbs
Frogspawn
Hammer Coral
Toadstool Mushroom
Bubble Coral
2 Yuma mushrooms
Red & Blue Mushrooms
Xenia
2 Gold Stripe Maroon Clowns + GBTA
Coral Beauty
Purple Firefish
Purple Psuedo
Yellow Tang *small
My calcium is at 400-420 ppm - which is a bit low
Alk is at 7.7dkh - a bit low
Mag - no idea. A friend is ordering a kit for me.
Ph - ~8.2
Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate - 0
I have some warner marine calcium and magnesium supplements. I'm hesitant to add mag since i have no idea what level my magnesium level is. I've been adding 1 Tsp of Cal every couple days to try to keep my Cal up.
