High mag and kh

[Proteus]

I tested kh/cal/ph today

Ph= 8.4
kh=210
mag=1560

I know this is high but am not sure of affects. I only have a few Sps and have notices that the tips are white but are growing quite fast

Just wondering if I should water change to bring kh and mag down or leave it and let it dissipate.

are you dosing? if so I would stop and let it disappate
are u using H2Ocean salt? H2Ocean salt needs to be mixed prior to using because the different components seperate during shipping causing erratic levels when mixed

[Proteus]

Salt that I'm using is red sea coral pro. But there could have been some Kent coral builder in my bbl. Prior to mixing. I'll watch it for amweek and see what happens

[Cal_stir]

ya, i wouldn't change it too quickly

Thanx

210 KH = 11.76 DKH which is okay if you are running your system without probiotic. mag is a bit high but that shouldn't be that much of a concern. If your sps are growing then I wouldn't worry about too much.

I did just start a regiment of bioptim last week. Are there any adverse affects of this product and a higher dkh
