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?
