    It looks like I had an ATO problem last night. Good to see that the backup float switch did its job, but I'm not overly happy about the kalk reactor getting dumped into the tank. Any suggestions? I'm going to test the water out of curiousity.

    Calcium is at 460 and alkalinity is at 9. I think I'm going to let it ride and see what happens.

    So far everything is still happy.I just did the first of two water changes for tonight. All the coralline is dead, but I'm expecting to at least see some good stress growth out of the coral.

    Second water change is done. All that's left now is to hope it turns out ok.

    The clams are out of control, so I finally made space in my 75 for them. Better pictures to come of both tanks.
