Thanks Everyone!

Shelps, the boat is more fun, but definitely not cheaper. The typo in my last paragraph is strangely appropriate, but should read "but it's time to moron to new things" $1800 for new portlights this month, and hopefully thats the last of the expensive "deferred maintenance" projects.

I doubled my CA/ALK dosage on the doser after reading that! Absolutely stunning looking tank Rob, sad to see it get torn down. Out of curiosity why such a large difference in the concentrations of your CA/ ALK dosages?

Calcium chloride can be dissolved at a higher concentration than sodium bicarbonate. I pretty much mix as much in as will stay in solution. BTW water parameters are tested regularly and dosages adjusted appropriately.

Great to see you finally featured Rob! Your system is so much better designed than mine!

I'm pretty happy for you getting the boat too. You've been talking about doing that and shutting down the tank for years. Its hard to believe its actually happening.

Which salt have you been using?

Not very nice. But a good burn anyways.
