Ok. Ur calcium should be around 400-450. If Yours is that high it probably means something is wrong in the way your testing or your kit or your alkalinity is way off. Alk should be around 8-12 Dkh. Now I hope you ment your mag was 1330 bc it should be around 1400.

As far as feeding you don't really need to do all that, that's most likely where all your bubbles are coming from. IME that stuff makes the skimmer go nuts. Plus you have no sump to give the bubbles a chance to rise before returning to your DT. All that coral food did for me when I used it was bad things like raise my levels and drive my equipment nuts. SPS likes clean, consistent water of correct levels of Cal Mag and Alk. Plus good strong light with good flow. Good luck

thanks for the info randy and yes mag is 1330

 

[animalkingdom]

did you ever test alk...we still need that number...

 

[ecvernon]

Alkalinity is very important. Especially the stability of the alkalinity

 

[JAustin]

Test alk. Can not keep happy Sps unless you know where your alk is at.

only slightly off topic. Do you guys feel that your water can be too clean for sps? If so what level would that be?
