Been following along on the forums for around a year and started reefing around the same time.

Have had great success with lps and sps but achieve very slow growth rates on mushrooms and have actually killed a few, yet no stony coral deaths.

Planning on moving from my current ~60 gallon setup to something in the ~200 gallon range so I can fit more corals. Figured it was time to join the squad so I can be involved and ask questions.
For anyone checking this post out, is the graph I attached indicative of a failing ph probe? I just calibrated it last week but I also started dosing kalk. I dose 35 ml of concentrated kalk over the night. I have increased surface agitation today to see if the brings my peak down.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!!

That's quite an upgrade to 200 gallons! I kinda wish I would have gone that big but I'm pretty happy with the 120 in building.
 
Welcome Aboard!

Might have better luck making a separate post regarding the PH question. I would be happy to answer, but I cant. No experience with neptunes...unfortunately.

But, somebody with some more insight, very well may pop in.

Glad you joined the crew!

High ph is probably from the kalk. You can always check probe calibration with a ph calibration packet.
