    your ca is great have you been adding ca of some type? run a ph test right before the lights go out that way you can tell how much it drops this will help with the amount of kalk to use also, do you have a large population of sps if not that may be the reason for the high cal reading. if it gets higher by using kalk the ca carbonate may fall out of solution and it may snow in the tank. its only happened to me once, freaked me out a little but, didn't hurt the tank any. if you don't have alot of sps now might be a good time to shop:)

    Just wanted to mention the first noticeable observation after the dosing. the corals are loving it doubled in size for sure...wow! Wish we had more corals...

    That was with minimal dosing (1 table spoon/ 5 gallon) may try stronger mix next time around.... very cool
