Cal 440
Mag 1350
Kh in dKH/Alk 11.5/4.11

First time ive tested Mag and Dkh http://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/images/smilies/blush.gif but i dont know now how to interpritate these.

I know Cal and Mag seem spot on but the dKH has thrown me slightly.

Cheers

looks fine to me,

DKH of NSW is around 7 but in a close system we tend to have a higher level around 10 it helps to keep the other levels more stable.

when things dont i find a method similar to vodka dosing helps, in this vodka is changed to white rum, i dose myself with it and soon i find every thing is so smooth ;)

oooh, sounds interesting, do you have some sort of dosing pump, i find it exhausting getting up to go to the fridge for fresh doses. i'm thinking o hooking up some sort of gravity fed drip system. it amazing how good the tank looks after dosing alcohol for a few hours, nightly at the weekends.
