![]() Maintaining CA & ALK hasn't been too difficult for me. The only times it's difficult is when I'm lazy and haven't taken the time to figure out how much is being used/how much to dose. Now I've settled into a pretty regular routine and I test sporadically. I don't have a calcium or kalk reactor, but dose with Turbo Calcium and Kent Superbuffer.

![]() Nick, you might be on the right track.
I put the Tek Light on the tank and fired 2 of the 4 bulbs on for about three days, then put all bulbs on. Corals dying over time has always been an occurrence for me. Corals just won't do well for some reason. |

![]() Yup. Some live (GSP, donut, gorg, scolymia). Others die.

![]() I'm guessing its either lighting, or something in the water your not testing for. What kind of water are you using?

![]() Yeah. I've had a pair of percs for a year, a Lubbock's wrasse and some other fish that show good signs of health. I won't list the others for the sake of avoiding a debate about my fish husbandry.
I recently had an outbreak of hair algae too, does that mean anything? |
