BioPellets Help!?

[viplok]

Hi reefers,
I have been running biopellets for over 2 months. ever since then my alk has been very low no matter how much i dose. all my sps are gone due to the alk swings dropping from 9dkh - 7 dkh daily.

Question for fellow reefers who runs biopellet.

Whats a good level for ALK with bio pellets?

Are you dosing? I keep my alk between 8 and 9.

my cal is running at 450 ish. mg is at 1400 last time i check. my temp swings 4* in a hot day (90 degree day) from 79-83. but constantly at 79* 80* in a 85* day. since all my sps is gone i need some good advice before i start restocking for sps.

i am dosing brs 2 part at 25ml

I use biop's from day one had a problem with ALK used baking soda to get it up them I started back dosing esv alk now I keep between 8-9 alk did drop to 7 but I did not lose any sps and my DT is full of sps. Cal 421-430 mag 1360-1400. 1.026 temp 78. I don't think you problem is the pellets unless tank was setup and running before you added the pellets.
Sorry temp is only 78 in this heat I keep it around 74-76 on the reg.
