Biocube 29. Eventually going to be a mixed reef.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite low
Nitrate medium high (working on it via dosing Vodka)
PH is low (7.9ish according to Apex Probe)
Calcium is sitting around 460 ppm according to Red Sea
Alk is also on the high end
Mg is sitting at around 1200 PPM (Red Sea, again).
Dosing Marine Buffer to raise PH but it doesn't seem to be doing much good.
Started Dosing Red Sea Reef Foundation A & C (Calcium and Mg). Calcium improved immediately but MG is still low. Hovers around 1200 ppm daily, despite dosing with Reef Foundation C.
So, What can I do to raise PH and get my Mg in line without hurting the few fish and frags currently in the tank?
