Question for all the reef chemist gurus,
Im a little late on my biweekly 15% wc. I started mixing up some salt today in anticipation of performing a wc tomorrow. I decided to check my params before and i realized that my calcium levels have not depleted at all. In fact i was looking though my log of my very young 2mo old tank and i noticed that my calcium levels have stayed constant throughout. My readings are at 460.
My tank params are:
CA- 460
Alk- 10
Mag-1450
Nitrate - 5
Nitrate-0
Ammonia-0
Phos - 0
Now granted my tank is young, and i only have 4 sps frags, but i also have 5 or so nassarius snails, 5 hermits, and 2 turbos. I guess my question is if its normal that my reef isnt really consuming calcium at this point.
