How much where you dosing alkalinity and calcium daily?

Very little, I can't remember off hand. Probably 10ml of alk and 4-5 of calcium. I've not dosed the tank in a while now, no reason to with very little live stock.

Adam with @Battlecorals ran a 25% off sale (it may still be going on!!) so I had to jump in. I've always wanted corals from him so this was the chance. I bought a battle box and let him pick all 10 pieces, he threw in an extra!

Sweet!! One of the few places left I want to order from but haven’t tried yet.

You won’t be disappointed! I wanted to jump in on that 25% off sale! Haha

You talked me into it! Too good a deal to pass up for sure.

I told myself this week I was going to get a battle box, I just didn’t know when!

Nice chunky frags... Good to see he doesn't send frags the size of boogers.

I’ve not read anything negative about battle corals ever, and I follow his sub-forum a lot. Hopefully I can grow these out!

New T5 bulbs are in, probably should have done 2 at a time. But I like to live dangerously. Front back to front - Blue+, Actinic, Blue+, Actinic.

I've been testing alk daily, for 2 days now it has been 8. Two days may not seem like a big deal, to me it is. I'm not chasing the numbers I am chasing consistency. I've brought the ESV B-Ionic back online dosing 6ml of alk.

Yesterday I purchased a small bucket of RedSea blue bucket, keeping SPS and doing water changes I just can't use the Coral Pro anymore allowing it to swing my parameters. The search continues on Kalk for me, I have the kalk although none is mixed up. I prefer to dose it VS putting in my ATO. However, dosing it requires another dosing pump that I don't currently have. There is still more research to do!

After watching @shiftline Youtube video I put some pictures in snapseed and adjusted the warmth -
