The Ways Alkalinity can Accumulate in a Reef Tank

[Miami Reef]

"Elevating alkalinity due to low demand is a great excuse to stock up on corals."

Thanks @Miami Reef for provide much useful information and technical support for expanding my appreciation of coral husbandry. I think I can substitute your phrase quoted above to favorably convince the boss of the necessity of my binging.

Ha. I was so proud of that line. I was hoping someone would catch it.

My 40 gallon is over a year old, no water changes, I have not yet had to dose alk thanks to carbon dosing. Corals are growing like mad.

Do you find you need to dose nitrates with carbon dosing?

I haven't dosed nitrates, however I do occasionally dose some zeo products and not exactly sure what is in some of those. Typically nitrates are around zero but my phosphates are pretty high around .4 right now. But I have no complaints, the tank is looking better than I ever thought it would.
