    Thanks, no problem.

    There is noise on stream, only on the wave setting.

    I found them on Amazon for 85 a piece. Each controller is separate? or can they be linked?

    Its been two months since my last update and the tank looks great! I installed a three pump dosing unit in June for calcium, alkalinity and kalkwasser. The corals grow much faster with the stable parameters. I added one liter of DeNitrate rocks to help lower my nitrate from 25ppm but after a months use they have not dropped at all. Today was the first water change in two months, I have been frustrated with the tank and took a step away from the tank but now I am back.

    Good lord, the tank exploded. Very interesting about the DeNitrate, are you running them in a canister?

    I have them in a mesh media bag located next to the down pipe in the sump.

    So nitrates of 25, you do know you can not have nitrates of 25 and beautiful, actively growing acropora right, it's right in the handbook. Curious why did you add the Kalk?

    My Salifert kit says 25 and my API kit says 0 ppm. I added the kalkwasser because I wanted an automated top off system to help keep the calcium an alkalinity in check. I also read that it helps precipitate phosphate.
