Hi guys,
I'm having a little bit of an issue raising ALK and CAl with ESV 2 part.
I am either not dosing enough or there is something else happening, I hope you can shed some light on this.
I have a volume of about 105 to 110 Gallons. Very very lightly stocked tank with lots or coraline. I have about 10 2" SPS frags, 3 LPS frags and a 4" clam.
I started dosing ESV a few days ago after a long losing battle with Seachem Reef Complete and Reef Carbonate. The seachem stuff was ridiculously unstable!.
ESV
January 16
ALK 7dkh
CAL 325
dosed 35ml of each B-ionic 2 part
January 17
ALK 7dkh
CAL 350
dosed 55ml of each B-ionic 2 part
January 18
ALK 8dkh
Cal 415
So after 3 days and 90ML of B-ionic I am where I want to be. My daily dose as of Jan 18 will be 35ml of both parts.
Jan 18,and 19 I added 35ml per day.
January 20
ALK 7dkh
Cal 375
Once again, my values have dropped.
Is 35ml not enough or could there be something else causing this? ESV recommends 26 to 27.5ml per day for my volume, I am dosing 10ml more than what is reconmended as a starting dose.
1000 thanks,
Ray
