low kh

[Dr Tomcat]

I have a 300lt marine tank without sump.

I'm trying to push up KH trough KH+ by tetra marine. Even with an intense use, I've registered no significant effects.

Should I think there's something wrong with the chemistry of my tank?

Can you help me please?

THanks

I am far from an expert at this but here you go. First of all. What is your current KH. From 7-10 is what most reefers are shooting for. Is your tank newly set up? I believe that if it is cycling that can cause low KH issues and if it is emtpy you dont really need to worry about it now anyway. Also, are you testing for calcium? I am pretty sure that calcium and KH levels will rise and fall together if you ionic balance is good. I could go on but gotta go.
