If you're wiping it down that much, then there is obviously nutrients within the system, so if you continue with your coral feedings in the evenings it sounds like you're on the right track there.

I started running barebottom about 3 months ago. Do you remember commenting on my build thread that I would hate Oolite sand? We'll I did.

Haha, I didn't remember who the comment was to, but I remember now.

Calcium (Salifert) - 475 ppm
Alkalinity (Hanna) - 7.8 dkH
I know they are not balanced. You had mentioned before. How do I get them balanced?
Part of the problem I think is that the salt mix is so high in it's levels

If you're doing a 10% or 15% waterchange it really doesn't change the values within the tank very much. Just skip dosing calcium (but continue dosing alkalinity) for a day or two to allow the value to drop.
