	There's more than one way to skin a cat.    Have you ever tried running NSW values for Cal/Alk/Mg?  That's what I've been doing for the first 8 months my tank was up and running, and recently I've been experimenting with slightly higher values.  I've started NO3 dosing again too. |

			 No, never tried that. I am trying to lower my ALK to around 9, but I keep fairly high nutrients so lower alk (NSW levels) can cause issues with STN/RTN.
