I have a 125g Fowlr and I am wanting to start adding some corals and polyps. My system consist of (2) Emperor 400's (just for circulation, and a protein skimmer. I was thinking about adding a powerhead just to get more water movement. I have the normal 50/50 lighting plus powercompacts for lighting.
I added a polyp, toad stool, and a piece of soft coral to the tank about 1 month ago and they seem to be doing well. the polyp is growing like crazy. I check the KH, calcium, & salinity. the KH always seems high (12 to 14) but the calcium is always good. I have done water changes but no luck getting the KH down. What else should I be checking as far as water goes?? Iodine?? magnesium?? or should i just be adding a certain product every so often to keep everything in check?? all info is appreciated because I want to do this the right way. thanks!
