Laurie,
Wow, I am surprised that you don't dose at all and yet, your tanks are beautiful. When is the next tank tour? I wanna go over to see your tanks again
Reef Supplies,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely keep them in mind when I make my order. I just purchased a Marine magic dosing pump too for $160. That's why I am thinking of purchasing the Brightwell 2 parts dosing to take advantage of the pump.

Thank you all for the replies. You guys are great!!

I guess your zoanthids must be really happy because they react strongly to any sudden change in alkalinity...a very slow drop won't affect them as a suddent increase.

But what about that clam? I guess it does not have much calcium to grow its shell...
