    It appears some of the corals have alkalinity burns. I've been running biopellets for about 2.5 weeks now, but alkalinity level has actually declined from 9dKH to 7.25dKH within that time. Pics in a bit...

    Paremeters March 16, 2012

    Calcium: 425ppm
    Magnesium: 1460ppm
    Alkalinity: 9.5 dKH
    Salinity: 1.0265

    Parameters March 29, 2012

    Calcium: 310ppm = 115ppm depletion over 13 days
    Magnesium: 1200ppm = 260ppm depletion
    Alkalinity: 7.25 dKH = 2.25ppm depletion
    Salinity: 1.026

    So with that said, these should be the average daily amounts consumed...

    Calcium: 8.86ppm
    Magnesium: 20ppm
    Alkalinity: 0.17 dKH

    Colors are off a bit. The monti is very orange. But those white spots are there...

    Sorry to hear about the alk problems. I'm sure you will get it turned around though.
