Yah I like aquavirto (use their salt and love it). So adding calcium and alk won't affect any other params right?

As long as mg is good and no major ph swings you'll be fine

Goody Thanks

FWIW, massive swings in chemistry like that do not bode well for your reef long term. You might have a 'nothing bad has happened yet' situation, but unless you're regularly testing rock solid numbers week after week (with SPS in a very small system, that requires dosing of some kind), you will eventually have trouble.

Ah did you have to give such a threatening post in you 666th post? JK

Yah I will be getting into dosing within a week or so

Ok before I take any plunge; I was thinking of only adding alk (maybe soda ash?) to keep the alk around 8-9 between water change. Ca doesn't seem to be much off (goes from 410 to 380). Or should I start adding that too? I was thinking; instead of going for the fancy stuffs like redsea or aquavitro, why not use the bulk soda ash and calcium chloride?
