Here's something interesting. I checked my levels last night and I got this:

Ca+ 450 ppm,
Mg 1220 ppm,
ALK 7.87 D-KH

I won't be adding any Ca+ because its a bit higher then I usually keep it. I may buffer a bit for ALK, but here's what I've noticed thats interesting. Growth in my corals has really slowed down in the past couple of weeks that my Ca+ has been high (oops). Tonight I'll add Mg to bring my levels back up to 1280-1300 ppm and see what happens. Incidently, its taken two weeks for my Ca+ to go from 485 to 450 ppm, probly as a result of lower Mg levels.

Another note: according to the calculator it will take 304 grams of Seachem Mg (60.8 tsps), and 346 Ml of Kents to achive the levels I want. That seems like a lot to me.
