    I consume about 90ppm of ca every 3 days. I add Mg Chloride every 10 days to keep 1450 to 1500ppm. Sr I add 4 tablespoons every 3 or 4 days and my dKH I'm not sure of because I think my kit has gone bad, just got a different one on order.

    Looking hard on one of those Aqua Medic Quads like you have to take care of some of this work.

    And yourself??

    You got any pics of your tank? Looks like you have a lot growing to consume that much in a 75g. Most of my frag have a lot of growing to do. Had a friend give me AEFW's and between the bugs and dip in the Q-tank I lost about 80% of my stock. Nice to have friends like that...:-/ He even called me the other day and wanted to trade.....not me.
    I have a portable Q-tank that I set up when needed and I usually wait until right before frag swaps to run it. Just don't have the room until I get the wall knocked out of the fish room to open it up to the 1/2 bath downstairs.

    Here is a couple of pics of the ones I lost while they are in quarantine. They started chewing on the bottom of my Staghorn and I was only able to save a couple of pieces off of it. I have the skeleton in the garage as a reminder to Q-tank everything.
