    so far the 24 hr consumption rates are as follows:

    Ca: 110 ppm
    dKH: 5.4
    Mg: 39 ppm

    also:

    we feed the corals using the balling method 2x/wk taking out the filter sock and turning off the skimmer at night. then putting them back in the morning, and the fish are fed flakes daily.

    and:

    5 gal water change weekly, dose reef trace 5cc/2x wk, dose reef plus 5cc/wk

    for extra water on hand i put a 35 gal container in the garage with its own ro/di aatoc not directly connected to the system. the sump has its own ro/di aatoc.
