			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello, I have a question on how to know when to do partial water changes.  I hear that it should be done when Nitrates creep up.  My nitrates have been below 10 for about a month and a half now.  Should I still doa partial change out?  Are there other perameters that I should monitor to let me know when it is time?  I have also heard that if the system is balanced and nitrates are kept low, I may be able to get away without water changes.  Any truth to this?  I hate to change out water &quot;just because&quot; every two to three weeks.  I have a 55G saltwater tank with 60lbs live rock, two flase perks, bangai cardinal, 15 hermits, 10 snails, one condy anemone, two power heads and a hang on back filter.  My ph is about 8.3, salinity 1.023, nitrate below 10, nitrite and amonia 0, temp 79-80.  Any help will be appreciated.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi Guys and Gals! I am having troubles with the terms. I currently have a 20 gal with <br />
440 ppm Ca<br />
<a href="http://www.fishlore.com/fishdictionary/g.htm#gh" target="_blank" class="dashlink">GH</a> &gt;1000 ppm<br />
KH 140 ppm<br />
PH is 8.4<br />
<br />
I started out with a 350 ppm Ca reading and since I just put in some corals I wanted to raise the <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/fishdictionary/c.htm#calcium" target="_blank" class="dashlink">calcium</a>. Now my Ca range is great but the Ph and GH readings are bad (aren't they?)<br />
<br />
Is this a buffering issue and also how do I get things back to normal? Are my fish in danger?<br />
