Tank Parameters
Water Chemistry reading on 11/15/06
pH = 8.6
Phosphate = 1.0
Nitrate = 0
Nitrite = 0
Ammonia = 0
Calcium = 465 ppm
Alkalinity = 5.5 meq/L
Specific Gravity = 1.025
Temperature = 78-81 (night-day)
Tonight, I am adding a filter bag with 50g of PhosBan to reduce phosphates.
All fishes and corals are doing well except the Xenia, which is very puny looking.
My tank is 58g with a 20g refugium. Biological fiiltering (live rock, deep sand bed, macro algea). Mechanical filtering (Bac-Pak skimmer with airstone added).
Questions:
Shoud I be testing for anything else?
Are the readings OK besides high phosphates and high alkalinity?
Will a reduction in phoshates decrease alkalinity?
