![]() I use Reef Crystals and have been pretty happy with them.
Water change every 2 weeks. Last one was last weekend. 20 gallons for the 120 gallons that I have. Everything looks relatively happy although I seem to lose my torches/frogspawn kind of corals. Salinity is at 1.025. |

![]() Something isn't right then. Reef Crystals is pretty high in Ca, and regular water changes should bring it back up to level with moderate consumption. Unless you have a tank overflowing with SPS that need trimming every other week, your Ca shouldn't drop to 300. Can you verify that number on a second test kit?

![]() Any noticeable amounts of precipitation on heaters and pumps? Or, do you have a huge amount of coral that is growing quickly?

![]() I guess, at this point, measure it often and see if you can find a pattern. If it's 450 now, it shouldn't go down significantly before your next water change, which should replace any used up
