    With my recent addition of my 4 head dosing pump w/ controller- I've been keeping a closer eye on my params.
    Expecially since I'm no lomger using Kalwasser for Ca and Alk. It seems that when I was using it- the Ca stayed at 500+, and it was hard to keep the alk up to 7.

    Now that I'm dosing CaCl solution and Baked Baking soda seperately- my Ca dropped to mid 300's, thile my Alk went to 11+. It was gradual- and my coral seem fine/unaffected- so far.

    Luckily- this is easy to slowly correct back to where I want these values- with my nifty Jebeo doping pump!
    I"ve been slowly altering the dosing amount, and intervals, etc.

    This A.M. my Alk was 9+, Mg-1380, and Ca still down around 380. I tweaked it a bit more and will retest again in a few days.
    So nice to only have to add a gallon of solution at a time to my resevoirs for the 3 seperately every few weeks, and NOT having to drip my daily made Kalwasser solution!

    A few random pics, side views, 1/3 views, and FTS 11/22/15.
    My old Iphone4- no editors
    I didn't turn my lights down- I've tried it once though and the colors to come out in the pics even more,
    but alas, I was too lazy to. I hope you enjoy the views, and thanks for looking
