Baking Up Alkalinity For My Reef Tank | DIY Recipe FOR NEW CORAL

In this video we are getting the reef tank water parameters worked out through new Salifert test kits and a DIY batch of alkalinity. We are going to a frag swap today, Saturday, in Cleveland Ohio! So excited to be going to my second frag swap ever!
We're also setting up a quarantine tank for frags and whatever else we might buy at the swap. You don't want to miss this video!
Thanks for watching guys! Stay tuned for the video of the Fragginstein swap coming out early in the week!

Hello! I do not have any saltwater tanks, but found this very interesting! 😁

[@Colton_Lee]

Great, I'm glad you did! I'm trying switch up the content between freshwater and saltwater but still keep everyone entertained. Thanks for the feedback!

I used instant ocean reef crystals for a couple years. The last 2 buckets I had high calcium. I switched salts and problem went away.

Great to know! Did you find this though regular testing and your tank levels going up, or were you testing freshly mixed saltwater?
