Default hey lastlight no dosing?
Just reading your specs and didn't notice any dosing.If ya use h2ocean salt and regular water changes, is that sufficient? Nice job btw.

For a comparison I've bolded my 62G system..

Check - I'm very similar in schedule, with a varying K rating- Mitras (~13k, 71% power) light ramps up / down for 2 hours. Full intensity for 6 hrs.
Check - Same Salt although very different WC schedule....- DD H2Ocean with weekly 10 - 15 gallon changes
Check - Same- reactor with gfo
Negative- 2 filter socks with a bit of carbon in them. cleaned out weekly
Negative- filter foam on top of socks which i rinse off a few times per week
No comment - My skimmer isn't performing well at all- skimmer cup emptied once a week
I use PE Mysis, Pacifica..- food added is NLS pellets, Pacifica Plankton and Acan Plus

Back wall of the tank was of course all dead rock. It leached a lot of nutrients but I think it's pretty settled now. Rest of the rock was live. I'm starting to think the Live Rock is a major factor vs a 100% Dry Macro

I turkey baste the tank thoroughly at least once per week. The coral looks very happy when I do this!

Beside the LR you added we are not so far off in comparison, which only frustrates me more. I should likely increase my WC schedule.. I do 20G once per month compared to your 40-54G per month.

In the end.. Keep up for the good work, based on your photos you're doing all the right things.
