Can you share a little more information regarding what kind of test kits you are using, how often you test, how you maintain these levels, and how stable these levels are. Quite often what you're experiencing results from low or high alkalinity, I suspect there's more to your KH=8.5.

The numbers for me have been quite consistant since I started dosing 2 part.

I use Salifert test kits but I have Hagen (ugh!) backups that I confer with if I have to.

I test about every 20 - 25 days now, but before it was once per week.

I'm hoping that by moving my dosing entry point for Alk that I can stop this problem. The Acros that this has happened to were doing awesome before and it's a shame to see what's happened.

Ya, good call Marie! I just burned my Stylo last week by dosing into my Wavebox chamber which shoots directly at the Stylo. Dangit.
