How long have you been in this hobby (it would give us a rough indication of your experience). 5 months ok enough of the questions summary: i need some answers.. cant google or find it. i've been replacing my water 10-15% weekly around 5-7 days.. i tested my water parameters below: 28/1: Water Changed 10% 29/1 : Cal 490 Mg 1410 Alk 9 31/1 : Cal 460 Mg 1410 Alk 8.2dKH 1/2 : Cal 485 Mg 1440 Alk 8dKH (<- after feeding reefroids + reef booster + mysis shrimp + zooplankton by seachem) <- why does the cal & mg increases? 2/2: Cal 470 Mg 1440 Alk 8.6Dkh <- tested after 3 hours put in seachem reef builder 6grams/500ml all were tested at same time for all test. i notice one of my Trachyphyllia outer part starts turn white.. others were fine and growing well.. i used RODI + red sea salt 75% + 25% redsea coral pro salt mixed. so my question is: is this normal? why do my cal and mg increases? should i start dosing? or just keep up with water changes? I have reef advantage Calcium and reef builder and advantage magnesium on hand.
