I'm new to the reef. So I'm still learning. I have not start dosing yet. So my Calcium Alk Meg are all below the level. I do have a dosing plump and 2 part from BRS ready. But just don't have time to set it up. Hope everything goes well after everything is in level.

Also just because your not dosing dose not mean your levels are below normal. In almost 5 years of having some sps but mostly lps. This is the first year I have had to start dosing.
