    Well the tank has settled in nice and the clown and bubble tip are doing great all corals are looking amazing so I think I'm ready to get another fish something that will be active looking at some sort of a wrasse maybe a melanurus or 6 line

    also thinking of dosing kalk it is the only parameter I am struggling with

    Are you struggling with pH or Ca?

    struggling with ph and alkalinity seems when my ph is right my alk is good my ph hangs around 7.8 that keeps my alk 7-7.5 but when my ph is up at 8.4 my alk is 8-8.5

    That makes sense.

    I top off with a cup of kalk solution every am (clear solution administered into the back compartments over about 2 min) for the sole purpose of keeping my pH at 8.2.The the only reason I use kalk is for pH. To keep my alk up to 8.5 I must use a two part dosing system, kalk alone does not keep my Ca or Alk within NSW parameters. Huge fan of kalk, it really needs to be fine tuned to the utilization of ones own tank.

    The tank is the bomb (dating myself). Still in love with your Lightening Clown and the scape.
