Ok I'm lost... CA and ALK

[clowninaround7474]

My thought is that for now, this would provide a more stable mixture and maybe cut back on the amount of additives I'll need... At least until the tank is more stocked and consumption increases. I've actually never gone through the process of switching salts. I assume, as with everything, slowly is the way to go. Just smaller water changes maybe more frequently?

Do you have a link for that scale?

Random, but just stumbled onto this and it seems pretty cool!

Just drop the dry baking soda and calcium chloride into the sump/overflow every day (or more like every few days). This will get you by for quite some while, if not forever. With a fraction of a teaspoon, your tank will never even know the difference.

You can get a decent scale at Walmart

Looks like marine depot is sold out of the ESV salt... Any local stores able to get this in?

Pretty sure you can order it direct from ESV over the phone

Won't steady water changes with good salt water take care of these things?

At first, yes. But as corals grow, more are added and the demands/consumption increases, dosing becomes necessary. I am well ahead of things here but trying to get an understanding of the topic for the future when it's needed
