I have been cooking rocks for the last 2 months.
I have them in brute cans. I have them in regular salt water at 77 with a. Pump circulating water. I am moving soon so I will Need to break down my tank. I decided to upgrade to a bigger tank and I would need more rocks so I started getting rocks...
I think as timee goes by more companies are going to take control of their own product line.
So for Red Sea they will have there own controller that will control lights/tank/dosing/pumps from their own app
Echo tech will also eventually have a one stop app with control over pumps/ lights and...
Alk everything else doesn’t really matter.
If you use the right salt your magnesium shouldn’t change much. Calcium if you over dose nothing happens. Alk does matter you keep your alk at 8-9 and you should be fine.
So I use Red Sea pro as my salt so my alk is around 9-8 this keeps it there. It all depends on what number you are happy with and what is consuming alk. This doses an even amount of alk/cal/mag plus some elements. i use one scoop twice a week for 50 gallon frag tank.

You should always make your own water.
You can’t trust any LFS with RO. Sometimes membrane go bad early and they have no idea.
You also need to understand that most hobby grade test for phosphate are not very accurate.
Tuxedo are nice and I haven’t seen them hurt any coral. but if you have a big tank would go with the pin cushion they eat everything and they grow huge.
I keep a small amount of Xenia in all my tanks.
But I don’t let it grow.
If you put it in a display I would recommend to put it high in your tank.
If you put it in your frag tank place it way from other frags or coral.
Xenia in the right environment will take over your tank. It grows on...
