added some more pieces of rock and a Tonga branch from my other tank. Not quite happy with the placement of everything yet, but I'm just concentrating on getting everything moved over at this point in preparation for my dual WP10s.

alk at 9 dkh and calc at 380 ppm. A bit more in line now but I am pretty sure the culprit is the Instant Ocean purple box salt mix I am using. I'll keep dosing calc until its up to 420+, but the LFS store suggested I switch to Instant Ocean Reef Crystals at a minimum, or Omega Sea Reef Salt.

Alk stable between 9-10 dkh, and I got my calcium up to 420 ppm using bionic 2 part, but I am going through almost a milliliter per gallon, per day to maintain that. Seems like a lot. Any thoughts or suggestions on another product to use for maintaining calcium?

Also, here's a livestock update.

And I finally got the trim up.

Added some sps.

Have you had any nutrient problems?

 

[mjr]

Not really. I think I'm having a flow problem causing turf algae to grow in some spots. I use seachem purigen so I've been able to keep my nitrates between 10-20 pretty regularly.
