    Sounds good.. I know the stuff to raise Cal is high.. And there's alot of other factors involved.. I'm learning how to do it cheaper..

    I thought all corals with a skeleton needed Cal at 440.. to grow big.
    And I did read somewhere that candycanes used alot of Cal.. And I have some frags of montipora..
    But you know how that go's.. I still need to get a test kit for Mag..
    I'll not let this bite me in the butt.. LOL

    In the future, I'll be getting a bigger tank, and more advanced corals..
    So this is my " learning " tank..
    I'll be changing brands of salt, to one made more towarge corals.. The cal should already be at 440.. And better trace elements..
    Thanks for all the info..

    Later, Larry
