I'm seriously starting to consider different salt. But first I should finally learn to dose my tank on a regular basis. I've been depending on my salt too much. I've found that Ca and Alk levels in my tank are dropping way faster than I thought. I didn't realize that little frags could suck up so much.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
