Thanks Steve,

I have already been through one jar and that got me to about 1200 ppm. So I guess I will go through another jar. I read a previous post where you said that your calcium reactor was...

No I don't think you are overstocked at all. With a large skimmer like you say and a mature tank I'm sure your system will not have any problems with the small increase in bioload.

My Sohal has been trouble free, eats like a pig, doesn't bother anyone else (don't have any other tangs though), never had a disease, etc. But be warned they grow big and need a big tank.

As I understand it Deresa and Squamosa are better off on the sand, because as they get bigger their byssal foot shrinks and they rely on their weight to hold them down in the sand. Crocea and Maximas...

Honestly the digitata looks not that bad. Did you just add it? It just looks like the polyps are deflated. Maybe there is a bit of tissue recession there, but not sure.
