Welcome to Canreef. What are all the types of fish you have? The tangs need to go for sure unless they are really small but even then they will need a bigger home down the road. As for testing for...

It's sounding like it comes down to what you use to dose. I thought maybe it had more to do with other elements in the tank? Should I try to get the alk level up higher (like 11 or 12 dkh) and see...

I have the same gen as Mark. It's still in the box but at least it's in the garage. I can't remember the last time we lost power for more than a few minutes, but it was cheap and you never know.

So the lights have been going for about 6 hours now. They are 250w SE 20K bulbs. One is noticeably bluer than the other. Is one of them defective? Or will they end up matching after a while?

It's not uncommon for a fish that is new to the tank to hide for a week or so. Check around the tank to see if he jumped otherwise just wait it out.
