And that is a really good way to explain the relationship between calc and alk. If I knew any other reefers, id definitely use that one

Hang on a minute! Are you intending to add coral? If you have a fish only tank, and don't plan on adding coral...just switch your salt to Instant Ocean and maintain your water changes and don't worry about balancing your calcium/alkalinity levels ....for a fish only it is not so critical.
