Marty, what has changed in your tank in the last month? Those stonies new, what kind? The coralline growth take off?

IME kalk alone wont support much stony (esp sps) growth alone.

It does work, I've used this method a few times. It might not be quite as accurate as a dedicated mg test, but it will certainly let you know if you are in the ballpark or need some correction.

Nothing has change in my tank. The last thing I added was a anemone about 3-4 weeks ago, and maybe 10-15 snails and hermits ( combined) Oh and I added MH lighting 4-days ago :smile: Very little load for a 75g witha 20g sump. 3 fish, sun coarl, anamone, toadstool, 3 zoo's, 2 monti caps ( small), 4 digiata's( small) 2 trees (small) 70lbs live rock and 1.5-2" sand bed.

Did the hagen test and it showed my magnesium was at 840mg/l So that would explain the low calcium.
thanks chwkreefer :biggrin:
