-Top up water with calcium buffer and KH builder on alternate

- I sometimes observe my coraline algae for signs of deficiency in
calcium and KH

Alright, come clean! Did you sell your soul to get a tank that freaking awesome?!?! 8O

That, sir, is my dream aquarium now. I think I may try that with my ten gallon, if I could only get my hands on a MH setup...

Awesome!

I was just mentioning the other day how T5s did a great job with holding SPS coloration at an LFS I used to have. (The owner now works for the MAC.)

Awesome job! - Tank looks great!

Mind sharing some equipment photos? (Thanks for the excellent writeup on how things are set up too!)
