Sounds like it's time for you to make a trip to J&L and get a Salifert Magnesium test kit

A cup of alk per day sounds like a lot to me (could be mistaken). How big is your system again?

Maybe you're not dosing enough, but check your Mag before you get too carried away with the alk and ca levels

In my 110g total system I'm using 1tsp each of reef builder and advantage calcium daily (give or take), and I'm also dosing magnesium
