    Only problem is there is no way 5 people can gather around her tiny tank.

    The two growth areas I have used for comparison are no longer recognizable after approximately 48 days. Ca remains 400, Alk between 7.8-8.8. Going higher with the alk stressed the other corals. Nailing down and maintaining a consistent Alk level is difficult. Alk utilization and maintenance is the hardest of the big 3 to keep consistent by far. Mag, never really varies 1600, I believe this is because of the bi-monthly water changes.

    You need to tell it to slow down; it's going to run itself out of tank. :p

    +1; alk will be the least of the problems for your other corals. Pretty soon, there won't be any light for the rest of them. :)
