    Raising Alk, nothing else

    You listed your Nitrite as reading 1. Is that correct? If so, then there's your problem. Nitrite is as toxic as Ammonia.

    My JBJ 28 HQI reef tank is home.

    A 1/4hp is rated for up to 170 gallons, but for that price, I'd take it. The extra hp just means it won't have to work as hard to maintain tank temp....

    Skimmer advice

    Your current skimmer will be fine for now. If you plan on a fairly heavy bioload (fish), you'll probably need to upgrade in the future. FTR, I have 4...

    bio load??

    bio load??

    too much calcium a problem?
