A few issues that have shown up recently. Its official, the tank is using crazy amounts of ca and mag. I have had to double my previous dosing regiment of ca and have started dosing mag. I am also having a major diatom bloom. I am thinking that the diatoms are entirely my fault as I have stepped up feeding in an attempt to keep everything happy. I have recently added clams to the tank and have been feeding pyto weekly and also started target feeding the corals reefroids again. I have been using Pohls "coral vitalizer" two to three times a week. This coupled with the need for a rowaphos change in the reactor, I am sure is the cause for the increase in diatoms. I will have to cut back on my portioning and frequency to see if this helps things.


Merry Christmas everyone!
