Hi,
Beautiful tank and colours. A while back you posted about dosing via ato. Are you still doing this? One bucket of RO, followed by one of a vinegar/kalk mix, then 2 cups mag, and repeat. Would you give the recipe for the middle bucket and whether you ramped up the dose or kept the same.
What do you use for mag and where do you get it.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the nice comments.
Right now I am not doing the kalk dosing because I changed up my top up system. I now run a 30' line from my RO reservoir in my laundry room under the house into the sump ( float valve), when I had the 72 gallon a 5 gallon bucket would last 3 days, once I upgraded I was going through that in a day. Now i'm tied into my 20 gallon reservoir.

Heres a little update.

A few months back we purchased 5 Lyretail Anthias to join the 1 we already had, they where all females but we knew that 1 would dominate and change to a male.
This is what they all looked like 3 days ago.


Now the original one has started the change and WOW what a huge difference 3 days makes.
