I have noticed that the water is cloudy. So i have been looking at it the salt is 1.024 CAL 375 a bit low it was at 425 before i left and i know i had a problem wit hthe kalk reactor ALK 2.29 OR 6 Dkh temp s go its been dripping Kalk as a topp off too. I have noticed that my leather doesnt look good and the SPs are not ding that greatand i might loose my other candy cane  I was thinking it might be a ammonia spike but there is nothing in there that might of dyed that i can see. Al the fish are good and healthy the skimer was cleaned good last night. I dont know what it could be any thoughts. mike my last water change was 5 weeks ago the night before i left for C.F.B GAGETOWN N.B for my course.

Michael,
After the BIG water change and carbon, adjust alk and Ca levels. Also test for Mg and adjust.

Mike, you can add a bit of vinegar to your tank to get the kalk back into solution. I just don't know how much. I've done it before try doing a search on RC or Reefs.org.
