    The guy at the fish store recommended this to bring up my calcium and maintain alkalinity. I'm just starting out w/ corals so i really don't know if this stuff is any good. If anyone knows anything about this product or something that would work better I'd appreciate your input. Thanks, nunch.

    We use it as well, but it takes a bit of tweaking getting the correct ratio

    Ditto, It works great, but as stated below, becareful no to over dose. Any time you add anything to a tank, you need to test for it. Testing helps you to not OD and lets you know the comsumption rate of the tank. Luna

    Kind of off subject but not off subject, for one of your first corals I'd highly recommend something like pulsing (pom pom) xenia, they'll tell you if your water parameters got thrown off in a hurry but their like a stubborn weed you'd have to try to intentionally kill them
