I have a SPS tank with the following parameters
Temp 78 to 84
PH 7.9 to 8.1
Calcium 320 ppm
Magnesium 1220 ppm
Alkalinity 5.6 to 6.4 dKH
Phosphates undetectable
Nitrate and Nitrite 0
I have what looks to be either a hair algae or blue/green cyno problem. It is growing along the back corner walls and I can't seem to solve the problem. I only use Kalk and don't dose anything else. I do about a 30% water change monthly. I know my Alkalinity is low but can't seem to move it up and I wonder if that is causing my problem or if my problem is causing the drop in Alkalinity.
