Nobody really believes the O2 theory other than Sam and I, but I'm confident I can keep one of these in my tank.

I'm telling you, reducing temp a little (to 77-78) might be worth a shot too...

I bolus dose my kalk-vinegar just before lights on... should I be waiting til middle of the day? I actually thought that when I get the dosing pump set up, I would split it into three doses over the course of the night to give pH a little boost... now I'm second guessing that

No, temp is fine. It's 78-79, which gives me better growth on the coral. O2 levels that Sam and I are talking about are not in that 3% range you mentioned.
Dosing just before lights on is probably not an issue, and with most fish in a tank not heavily stocked, likely not really an issue after lights out. Could be, but not likely, depending on load.
