    ive got some nice coralline growing and i rarely add supplements due to the fact that ive got 3 corals ;) ive also got the one tangster mentioned that looks like a monti cap, its a real dark burgandy color. BTW ijust noticed a "reefplayground.net" banner, are they sponsers?

    Three test you need to know

    HI,
    the relationship of CA to KH and mag are critical to know for any saltwater tank, to little mag and the calcium precips out of the water to much KH and you may have a precip , most saltwater tanks are near a super saturation point for calcium, mag prevents the precip of the calcium, to much may be toxic.
    So ask you lps to test KH and MAG, make all adjustments very slow take a couple days not hours .
    And avoid kalwasseur intil you can test calcium, mag,KH in your home.
    TO sudden a change in values and you will start seeing a sudden increase in fish morbidiity, and all you inverts will die.
