    Why is my Alk so low?

    Dear god very nice ! I think I just needed an initial dose to bring it up. Now it’s hovering at 8.5 after 24 hours. Also I think I know why my daily dosing wasn’t doing anything.

    Why is my Alk so low?

    No was hoping that will eventually come down. I see if Calcium is that high that could be a reason for low alk. I may dump in 250 ml of alk to see what that does. I have no corals in tank. My Dos is dosing 3ml every 10 minutes now but I may shut that for now and do one large dose to see what I get

    Well I figured it out it was my mistake. Since using a remote Fmm due to Rodi reservoir being in another room I was messing with wrong Fmm and that’s why it couldn’t recognize optical sensors. Fixed that and coded remote pmup now all good.
