So far her and Mel are getting along. They don't hang out but they swim past each other occasionally and don't flare or even give a second glance.

PO4 - 0.03... These corals are hungry. Added another 0.1 ppm
NO3 - 55.0
Hanna Alk - 8.0 (Salifert agrees - gonna bring that up some - prefer 8.3-8.4)
Cal - 480 (kinda on the high side)
Magnesium - 1310 (might bring it up, why not?)

I'm almost certain that's what drove my calcium up and alk down but my water is definitely clear! Just something to be aware of if you use it. I read a Reef Builder's article that basically warned about the lowering of alk using it.

It lowers phosphates and can lower alkalinity. My phosphates are down and my alkalinity are down. :D
