    Baking soda for alk. The kalk helps maintain the level I keep it at, which is around 8.0 dkh. I am using BRS calcium, trying to maintain something around 420. I use ESV liquid Magnesium to maintain a level of around 1400.

    The explanation is in the above comments, and secrets................................lol. The only secret I have is ignorance is bliss. I manually dose alkalinity, calcium and magnesium. My top-off is Kalkwasser.

    Let's see, we have a Fluval SP6 for a return pump, 2 Maxpect XF250 for flow in the tank. An Eschopps X-350 skimmer. The sump is a Crystal Reef, "Lumos" 60 gallon sump. I also have a Mag. 18 feeding a 90 gallon sump. About 200 lbs. of Florida Dry rock which was cured for 3-4 months before it came...

    My 300 Gallon sps tank

    When I still had the 300, I noticed about a $40 per month drop when I went to LEDs. When I got a new skimmer and went from the 2000 gph Iwaki to the Maxi-Jet feeding it, that was another $20....................lol. We do with what we can Marty. Are you going to make it up to the swap this year?

    My custom 233

    That sounds like it will pass the time and keep the leapers from leaping. I have gaps in my tops also but no one has found them yet!!! I am seriously knocking on wood :) :)
