![]() So it may be money down the drain - I'll just monitor it closely over the next few batches I make up and if too inconsistent - in the garbage.
I was concerned the high dKH may be causing some of my new softies to keep their polyps retracted but I guess it may also be just an acclimatization period. My tank is stocked with new SPS frags and some softies. |

![]() You can always bump up the parameters for your water.
Do you know what your dKH was before? You may be right in regards the poylps being retracted due to shock. |

![]() What specific parameters are you referring to? I don't have a comparison to use for dKH since tank is new. Live sand & cured rock was transferred from another tank. Have not had any ammonia or nitrites issues.

![]() Well then I would say if you are comfortable finishing the pail you have, that you should make a different choice next time.
