I'm surprised you don't have a Ca test kit
Also, what's your Mag @ ?

IMO, sounds like your WCs aren't keeping up to your corals, but only more testing will show
Until the LED upgrade I didn't take sps seriously. I saw the salifert dKH test kit at OA add picked it up and was surprised to find out how low my dKH was. I have been dosing a little bit of sodium bicarbonate for a couple of weeks now and noticed an improvement in most all corals specifically my zoas.

I'll buy Ca and Mg kits soon. Any suggestions as to brand?

+1 for ELOS

I've got the ELOS and Hanna Colorimeters, I've found the ELOS Ca test kit to be more accurate than the Hanna.

Now only if I used them both regularly......
