Water changes will lower the kh. With a low Ca your system isn't balanced & that could be your problem. FWIW If you see flesh peeling you probably don't have nudis ......Just the same, check the pics that others have posted & see if you have any. They are real easy to see on digi's The caps they will hide underneath & are harder to notice.Aquaman, I know that my alk is too high, i have been trying to bring it down, by shortening my photo period. Since my calcium is a little low, would adding a Ca supplement lower my alk?
