Sorry, I guess I just always assume people are familiar with my build thread.

Yes, corals galore, all shapes, sizes and colors.

I guess I expect the calcium to get depleted, and can understand why I have to dose it pretty heavily, I just didnt know Alkalinity could deplete too. And I sure feel like I'm dosing heavily on it already, and all the cautions that come with it obviously have me running a little scared.

I'm using the BRS 2-part dosing kit. They recommend .4-.6ml per gallon for a daily dosage. I'm currently dosing 70ml per day into my roughly 80g water system. Has me nervous.

I thought Alk, like Mag, would build up as I dosed and then just need a little bit of a maintenance dose. Not that it would need a heavy daily dose to hold up. Well, I say hold up, even though I can't even seem to really get it to move upwards at all really.
