Its getting there. I didn't have the adventure you've had with Hurricanes. I did move in March.Hey Ty, guess your tank system is running and looking breathtaking by now ;-)
Your tank is well balanced stocked from what I did see. Means loaded but not overloaded.
When I was talking to some guys in the U.K, Aus and here in the US. a few confirmed that they had the same issue.
In some cases the use of Aragonite media plays a big role. Natural media are seem to be even more problematic.
Good advise from UK was actually to mix products like Lazarus into the reactor to reduce the amount of dosing of Calcium Chloride.
Talking to Reef Chemists from Brightwell about this subject, they just simply referred me to the user description of the Brightwell Reactor media since this is a normal characteristic in heavy loaded Reef Aquaria and the use of additional Calcium Chloride addition is described on their media which I never noticed before.
So right now I won't have this issue, but it likely may come back as soon the tank has been grown out more.
When it's back, I will mention it here again.
Since I'm going to dose anyways a few elements, I will be prepped for Calcium Chloride.
I'm not sure where the line is for balanced stock versus overstocked is. Is this from a pure mass perspective of growing corals or a mass of corals/volume of water? From a pure mass perspective, I got plenty of mass between the frag tank and display.
Here's my latest FTS and also my plumbed in frag tank. That's a 215 gallon tank and a 50 gallon frag tank. For perspective, that ORA Chips colony on the top right is 10" wide by 6" deep.
Thank you for sharing your research.
