Who Gives A Fish Forums

You gotta do a massive water change, like, ASAP, and while you're at it, search for your missing orchid dottyback, see if you can find it, and if it's dead, get it out of the tank, don't wanna make things worse.

"Thanks for the info, I've decided to go with 2 part dosing, seems like the safer route.
So, to clarify, MAG and ALK need to be dosed separately and at different times, right?"

Also, would you recommend 2 part dosing over Kalk with my ATO setup, or does that not make a difference?

Thanks for the detailed explanation, flame9x. I now understand the role of Kalk and its benefits for my tank, not just LPS but all corals. I also appreciate the insight into GFO and carbon reactors, and the importance of monitoring their usage to avoid harming my corals. Your advice on dosing ...

Thanks for all the helpful info guys, really appreciate it.
So to sum it up, Kalk is more beneficial for LPS, whereas for softies, it's not that necessary, right?
Also, I'm still a bit puzzled about GFO/Carbon reactors - I've heard they can potentially harm corals, does anyone have any insight on ...

thanks for the link, really appreciate it.
I'm still having trouble finding a specific answer on the maximum amount of SPS/LPS that can be added at the same time.
So, to summarize, if water changes don't keep my levels in check, I can rely on kalk as a backup solution, right?

Hey everyone,

I'm curious about dosing kalk (or Kalk+vinegar) in an LPS/Sof only tank - would it be effective? Or is it even necessary, or can I just rely on regular water changes?

Any thoughts on this?
