I have mostly lps and zoa frags and they are all seem to be doing good and open considering yesterday rearranging the scape a bit and moving bunch of zoas around.

my reading with Hanna checkers is

34.735 salinity
9.5 - 10alk
420 calcium
Didn’t get mag tester yet..
Ph 8.2 during day and 8 at night with scrubber on 24/7
78-79F temp
Running algae scrubber 24/7 , refugium opposite time of DT.
Phos 0.02
Didn’t get nitrate tester either.. keep forgetting
Ammonia with seneye reads 0.014 ppt
Nh4 reads 11.73 ppb

using klir filter as I do heavy feeding for fish and hand feed each corals with reefroid and broadcast with Red Sea A&B.
feed mysis shrimp to elegance, trachy, hammer, frogspawn, Acan and torch

So I broadcast every 3 days, hand feed every 2 days, feed fish twice a day. Morning and night

never had a spike in ammonia
Tank been running for 2 months
Dosing tropic Marin all in one @ 10-15ml manually
Pohl‘s coral booster every 2 days @ 1.5ml
Pohl’s coral vitalizer 1.5ml per day
AF amino acid 2 drops a day
AF vitality 2 drops a day
Zeobak 1.5ml 2 times a week
Poly lab polyp booster before feeding

I dip all my corals before adding

I added this brain coral 2 days ago with some new frags and torch.
The brain coral was dropped and was on sale and I decide to buy him and see if he would recover but he still stunning to my eyes and I love it with the elegance at same time.

I just tested my alk and calcium just now

Calcium 537
Ran 4 test vials each
My calcium is high.. what should I do to lower
