New to LPS & SPS... need help urgent

kool.... ill keep that in mind.. currently for this week im not dosing anything xcpt for sodium carbonate in topoff water which iv been doing coz my topoff water ph and kh is too low. will test my parameters next friday and will also see how my corals are doing..

 

Forgot to mention but my halmedia are growing like weed in the sump..... does that mean that my cal and alk is good?

 

Most likely and that you have plenty of nutrients for them.

 

i trimed and threw almost 500gms of halimeda..... just kept 1 bunch and 2-3 tiny ones....

 

Very good, Halimeda can go "sexual" and remove all of the oxygen from your tank.

 

kool so i guess i should trim regularly......

 

Here is a good link......Halimeda: The Cactus Algae by Kirby Adams - Reefkeeping.com

 

Hey guys, i did test today and my cal was 300, alk was a bit high at 10 so lowered to 8.5 and ph was 8.4 which was lowered to 8.2. the redsea salt cal was 360. i dint add anything xcpt 3ml of purpleup once a week(adding just like that as i have a bottle wont add once its over)... Had no bad effect on any of the hard corals, instead they are looking better and better day by day..... any suggestions? what shoud i do, just maintain WCs? or should i add calcium chloride in new saltwater? forget to test mag.
