The demands on Cal and Alk were staggering.... Also it was a flow/ light issue, and I wanted the reef to even out some. Not to mention the kind a $$$ you can get for all that coral. Just kidding if it was for money, I wouldn't be in this hobby.
I run a large dual chamber reactor. Drip Kalk at night, sodium bi-carbornate and sodium carbonate. And calcium chloride, by reefFiller dosing system 24/7.
I also have around 23 fish with 6 being large Tangs. Our blue grew from less than an 1" to almost 10" in 4 years. Most of the fish will eat from my hand...
Happy Reefing
