A few red flags here. So you only dose for Alk once a week, and you do that via baking soda? The implication here is your raising Alk 1-2 dKh all...

Here's my two favorite threads on this topic: http://www.3reef.com/forums/sps-corals/sps-spot-feeding-101666.html...
+1000 And as Chris pointed out, it's what all the pros use, especially those with the "designer" corals. I have no interest using anything else.
That right there jumps out at me. Tank sitters always feed A LOT more than you'd like them to if they don't know what they're doing.
It could cause calcium carbonate precipitation, which would cause Ca to drop to a low level. If there's a chalky-white residue or substance building...
Typically they'll only hatch in brackish water.
Are you sure that's not a 1.1 ml/min doser? Which would be 264ml a day with your program; not 4.4. Also, 3 tsp per gal is a bit much and probably...
You shouldn't raise Ca by more than 50ppm per day. Moving it 150 is asking for trouble and precipitation. What/how are you dosing for Alk? Using...

+1. Do nothing. Your Ca at 300 is much more troublesome than a pH of 8.4.
Appreciate the comments. I do not believe it's a spectrum problem; there's countless hours of research, planning, and execution on that front by me....
Head down, tail up? Definitely swim bladder in this case. Something Erythromycin based, in a hostipal tank of course.
Thanks Cheryl. Fortunately no, not the big purple one. That took some damage, but nothing that I think won't heal with a little time now. The one...
C. naokoae is in the rubriventralis complex, and therefore can pack an attitude. They go one way or another; you can try it, but you might have to...
First, five 'biggens (5 larger Cirrhilabrus) might be a bit cramped in a 90, but it could be do-able. As for C. rosefascia, this would be one I'd...
UPDATE I think I've stopped the bleeding. *knocks on wood* The doser has been shut off for a week now, as well as GFO being offline and running...
Starting to think you're right; updates in a moment. Thanks. I've always ran GFO, and in much smaller amounts than what BRS suggests. On this...
Some of you need to check your calendars. :D
Good stuff Andy (minus the dying part). :)
