sorry I was just trying to correct a misunderstanding, not to be rude

I know I often sound rude, just not intentional!

so today everything in my tank looks p*ssed at me. inverts and fish are all fine, but here are my params after dosing a small amount of CA to the tank yesterday.

nitrates and nitrites 0
ammonia 0
phos 0
CA 440 <finally..
KH(alk) 13? mind you in my old tank it was 17dkh and everything was fine
ph 8.2
Salinity 1.026

nothing is open it my tank for polyps today... I added carbon and chemipure elite yesterday, but just a small amount. any Ideas? aside from the Alk, I know its high, but like I said it always has been high with no major concerns on the corals behalf

It wasn't Kent carbon was it?

You didn't answer which test kit brands you are using either...

Yes. Remove it now, then search for the recent thread on the contaminated Kent carbon

I was just doing that actually. Dangit. Now I have to return it to big als. any suggestions for what to do? I took it out, should I change some water??

[Myka]

I would change 75% of the water pronto. Hopefully you have some made up already. Crap!!! Another victim.

What brand kits for the phosphate and nitrate?

[Nano]

API and Elos

no water made up. no reefers near by, looks like I'll get started. now I'm ticked lol

Just for reference, the params of the tank that SPS came from are 7.93 DkH - Hanna, 460 CA - Hanna, and 1500 MG - Salifert.
