Alkalinity Too Low?

It depends on your water change regime. I find that frequent water changes keeps everything in check nicely.

Try testing some freshwater before it goes in and see what that gives you.

If all else fails then you can look at dosing, though I would have said those levesl should be ok for the less demanding corals (softies etc).

Check out the threads on RC, they have some good DIY mixes to save on dosing.

I do about 15% every 2 weeks at least, normally every 10 days.

I will be keeping some less demanding LPS aswell as softies.

Cheers,

By an amazing co-incky-dinky I was there tonight and have just put them in the realm of knowledge.

As an aside, I really recommend a glide through the pinned realm of knowledge, has some great stuff in there.

WOW! There are certainly some great articles there.

Not gonna attempt all of them in one day though, my brain may implode
