You had better work on getting that Mg up. Espon Salt will work if you have any. _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)

Never ever mix anyhing with a kalk drip just toss the dry Epsomsalts in the sump or any high flow area of water .. Keep a eye on you calcium levels as you drip Kalk. May need to boost the Calcium a tad ? | |

10-4 Thanks! I found that if I do the 2TBsp in 1 gallon of water, every other night it keeps my calcium at 440-460. And it keeps my top offs regulated too. This is good(?) | |

Thats what you need to keep up long term once you start a Kalk or Ca. reactor you can't really stop or the tank will respond in a not so favorable way..
Alsoo with the corallines you need a good source of seeding to get them in the system.. | |
