Calcium and dKh dropping rapidly!

[Spyd]

I would dose 2 part. Some B-ionic or something like that would be good for a system like yours. The jugs would last a very long time. Try not to increase dkh more than 1 per day. I would definitely check Mg levels as well though as that definitely plays a factor with maintaining Cal & Alk levels.

As for the LPS, target feeding works best. Mysis and cyclopeeze are what I use. Feed about 15 minutes after lights out when all the tentacles are out. I would feed once every 3 days or so if you want some nice growth.

Like others have already mentioned, it's been my experience that I can't anything to sit right unless my Mg is in the 1400 - 1450 range. Now my Mg is the first thing I check before I even consider adjusting Ca or Alk.

Thanks for the info everyone

I really thought that I could get away with regular water change in such a small tank instead of any sort of dosing but seems like not a chance

I will get a Mg test kit today. Which one would you suggest?

Red Sea mg is good.

Red sea is accurate but Salifert is much faster/easier to use and just as consistent.
