Eric, you need to be different in college. Go for the Liger (http://www.liger.org/). They're bread for their skills in magic, plus, chicks dig Ligers.

Converting meq/L to dKH yields a dKH of 11.2.

I do 10-15% water changes every week with RODI mixed with Reef Crystals. I'll check the pH of the fresh water to see what that is.
