Alk Too High??
I CHECKED MY KH OR ALK. TODAY USING A HAGEN MSTER TEST KIT. IT READ 165-170 MG/L..THE INSRUCTION BOOKLET SAID THAT 125 MG/L IS NORMAL....WHAT GIVES???? EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS GREAT, AND MY CORALS AND FISH ARE FINE...HOW CAN I LOWER HE ALK, AND MAINTAIN MY PH....MY PH IS OK BY THE WAY BECAUSE I USE REEF BUILDER 8.3 PH STABLIZER....
ANY SUGGESTONS?? |

125-200 ppm is the normal accepted range. 170 ppm is the level I target in my tanks. This article discusses all the water parameters:
