    My 55 gallon tank with 70lb FOWLR and I see some spots of Coraline Algae growing. Should I be testing for Calcium, Mag and Alk for more Coraline growth? If so, and they are low, do I add them to meet the range?

    you shouldn't have to test any of them or even add anything to your tank. Just regular wc will be enough.
