No problem, maybe height is playing a role? I remember Mhucasey playing around with the hieght of his fixture and getting better results..

Do you run kalkwasser? Could you give me a run down on your system as I'm thinking of incorporating it into my system. Thanks for any insight you can give.

Hey Brandon, thanks! Yes I do run kalk. I have a kamoer single motor doser designed for continuous use. I currently run it at 8ml/min from 7 pm to 11 am. Overnight. Really great pump that kamoer. It pumps ro water into a Deltec Kalk stirrer. I add kalk to it each weekend to keep it fresh and well saturated.
This is on top of the calcium reactor which has a pretty high flow through it so I don’t get particularly high kh coming out but high flow.. I do this because I find it easier to regulate the flow through.

Yeah, I don’t even run the mh for very long but I think it puts thing over the top for photosynthesis and really makes the corals react but not for very long.
