So my tank is old. 12 years.. It's a 72g bow with about 60-75 pounds of LR and the same of aragonite. There are lots of corals.
I use a HOT skimmer as primary filtration. I use Instant ocean salt, and dose with mag when i change water (mag is measured around the 1200 range)
I have gone from liquid a+B to kalkwasser and am able to briefly with HIGH amounts get the numbers near normal, then a day or two later.. boom,
PH=8 ALK = 1.9 and CA = 220
I DO have crazy finger leathers which just get bigger (that probably weigh 20 pounds total) and I DO have some green hair algae growing in places (although I pluck most of it where / when I can ..
A) thoughts about where my chems are all going?
B) thoughts about getting it stable?
c) anyone expert enough in this area wanna drop by (malden area) to share advice?
Also, looking for a new home for 1/2 to 2/3 of the finger leather. Possible trade for something else (show piece size)
