Need some help with browning out sps

YOu are better with the Kh not more than 10 as this can bring a lot of RTN STN in your coral. Too high Kh is a risk for this condition.

Natural sea water is between 6.5 to 7.5, no 11 or 12.

It is also best to maintain a mid range value for the Kh because if your test is off a bit, it won't be so drastic. If you keep it at 12 and your test is off you might reach 14 or more....even 11 is incresing the risk of RTN.

I am currently in the process of upping these throughout this week. If things look good I will increase the light slightly after I get my params where I want them. I did notice that I have a high use of alk in my tank throughout the week as it dropped from 8 to 6.4 over the week (this was when I did the test over 7 days to figure out my dosing regime).

Anywho, just thought I'd let you guys know things are looking a bit better and I am hopefully on the road to recovery!!

Good to know Danielle. The alk is that high in the salt I use. Double check and it matched.

Well if that's the case I'm almost where I wanna be with my alk. Just a little higher and I should be good.
