    Morning all.

    I have been adding calcium everyday by the use of Bionic. I am using the max allowed a day at 4ml per 4 gallons. I have checked of course the magnesium level and it is 1350 so I should be good there.
    PH--8.1-2
    Alk--4
    Ammonia--0
    Nitrate--0
    Trate--<5
    Stront--9
    Calcium--200

    It did go up yesterday to 240 but is back down today at 200. Not sure what is going on with that. I am using the Salifert test kit. All my corals...mushrooms, zoo's, toadstool leather and ricord are doing very well. My pulsating xenia is not fully extended but does not look horrible. Confused on why this keeps dropping. I had it stable at 450 for weeks. Have not added anything to the tank. In fact I have taken 2 of the fish out to save the bio-load.

    All help is always greatly appreciated and accepted.

    Thank you,

    T
