Happy to help bud! And guys....he's making it sound worse than it is! The tank, although definitely on the rebound, looks great. He did such a great job of making it feel open and spacious yet still packed with coral and spots for the fish to feel at home. A great tank to sit in front of and zone out for sure.

I always wanted to keep my tank at 9 or 10 as I have heard this increases growth rates. My tank however always settles at 7. I think it is really just about stability as I have read in so many places.

Ca is 440 - 460 and my Mag is always super high floating between 1550 and 1700. I don't know why it is always this high as I have never dosed it but it doesn't seem to be bothering anything so I leave it be.

Sorry to hear about your loses Greg and happy that everything it's going back to normal
It might be the salt your using the salt i use is high in alk so i have to watch how much i put in cause my alk spikes everytime... maybe thats why your having such good growth even thou your alk@7 its steady and your cal&mag are some what above it Compensates for your alk interesting

I suppose it is possible. I am definitely not the chemistry guru and thankfully you don't have to be in this hobby or I would have failed a long time ago.:teeth:

Time for an update!
Everything is going great and growing rather quickly. Due to this growth spurt I need to change the times I dose two part. Right now I dose calc in the day and Alk overnight. I am considering dosing them each every hour. Alk in the first part of the hour and calc 30 minutes after. I am thinking that this will be a more consistent approach and will take away the daily chemical swing which I now experience. I will be starting that soon.
Below are a few pictures:
