Ok so the rest of us following normal reefing parameters, like measuring ph, keeping magnesium at suggested proper level of 1350ppm, using something other than crappy old crushed coral in a reactor and our tanks are not half as nice as yours.......LOL....

Oh ya and chucking led,s.


Do you add a magnesium additive to the crushed coral or that level is what it maintains.

Ya, it's a low maintenance tank Nope, no additives, that's just where it sits. That's about where it was last year when I measured it.
To be honest, pre 2008, nobody even cared about Mg. Never saw it for sale or saw test kits. It's a recent requirement for tanks. I guess I have older corals, they don't care either -lol
