I would have taken your comment more lightly if you hadn't added that "YEESH" and that evil lookin' emoticon at the end. And what's up with that alien anyway? Is that gesture with his hands what I think it is? If so, what did I do or say to deserve that?

Cheers,

So, after pondering this some more....I think I may have misunderstood what you were "Yeeshing" at. The $1,000 skimmers and $500 PHs, right? I thought you were "Yeeshing" at my opinion that this hobby is expensive. I missed the good natured sarcasm. Please accept my humble apology for the misunderstanding . As for that weird alien, that totally threw me, man. I had to look it up in the smiley bank to see, first, if it was a Canreef smiley, and second, to see what it is supposed to be. (Not much of a sci-fi fan). (x-mas? What's that? Some kinda demon thwarting thing?) It seriously looks to me like it's offering the double whammy one finger salute.

Anyhoo...cheers,

I'm usin' SeaChem Mg to raise Mg. So far, so good. Added 1200g yesterday and the Mg is at 1110 ppm today. Added another 1200g today so it should be around 1215 ppm tomorrow. Once it's up to 1290 ppm, I'll do the Turbo Ca thing.
Once the Ca is up to 400 ppm I plan to maintain Ca with SeaChem's Reef Advantage Calcium. One advantage to this product, I'm told (and it also says so right on the package), is that it also maintains Mg and Sr. The guaranteed analysis says it contains 17 mg of Mg per 1g; and 0.34 mg of Sr per 1g.

Cheers,

x-mas, aka Christmas, is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, Johnny. It is usually held every December 25th.
The smiley you are refering to is OX, but don't ask me what the heck that means.

Sorry folks. A comedy of one error after another the other day. Just my way of pointing out my realization of that.

Cheers,
