I haven't bought a used car for many years. My minivan is 14 years and the sedan is 12 years old. I am the buy and drive it to the ground type of guy.
If I want a luxury car I will lease one. Buying a 5 year old Mercedes you will end up with expensive repairs. A luxury car is not necessarily a...
Having used Red Sea and base on your dosing method and salt I think the Red Sea is close to correct. CA is super-saturated in the aquarium water it would be almost impossible to not see a lot of precipitation at these levels.
Alk has been in the 7.1 to 7.7 range. I have been increasing the dosage. I dose similar amount of calc (a little less) as Alk. The few times I check calc was about 400. I check Alk almost daily. I have not add any new coral to the tank for at least 1 month now.
I wonder if it would eventually...
Mag is 1100. Have not tested for a long time. So it's low. Used to get 1500+. But I doubt it's the reason. Spreading out from one point like a virus. Coraline on the rocks is ok.

Need to clear the frag rack. All frags are very encrusted unless otherwise noted.

I need to drill a hole for 1 inch bulkhead in a 10g tank and my first attemp failed. The glass cracked when it was drilled. Bought another tank and taped the drill area and this time it was perfect. Now I am a little worried that the thin glass of a 10g tank cannot handle the water pressure long...
