Ok, readings after 5 days since my last dosing:

Mg: 1150 PPM
Ca: 400
Kh: 110
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite:0
Nitrate: Real close to 0
Salinity: 1.027

So I'll add some 5 more teaspoons of baking soda, 3 more teaspoons of calcium and 5 capfuls of magnesium. So far my corals are just eating this stuff up.

Things are looking real good in the tank. Only one coral isn't doing well and that is an SPS that hasnt ever really been doing that well. Im not sure if it'll recover. Other than that everything looks great. Duncans are fully open and look beautiful!

Ok, tests after I went away for 2 weeks and my room mate was watching the tank. He dosed twice while I was gone.

Mg: 1250 ppm
Ca: 360 ppm
kH: 110 ppm (6.14 dkH)

So to get up to these levels:

Mg: 1350
Ca: 435
kH: 180 ppm (10 dkH)

I need to dose the following:

28.5 teaspoons of my calcium product
18.6 teaspoons of baking soda

so I'm going to do this over 3 days so I'm dosing 9 teaspoons of calcium per day and 6 baking soda.
