FWIW, I was expecting to start to see bacteria, but I haven't seen any in the display tank. I also never saw anything turn pale.

It is clear to me that the zoox in my RBTA's can clearly consume the acetate and so they increased in population. Maybe that isn't true of SPS corals, and that is why they turn pale and not brown (I don't currently have any SPS). My LPS seem largely unchanged.

The dose of 410 mL was about 2 ml per gallon per day. Maybe a bit less.

I don't generally track calcium and alkalinity, since it never varies much from acceptable ranges, but I do not think there is much rise. The amount dosed is equivalent to about 2 gallons of limewater per day, and that is well within the amounts I usually dose. This is a low evaporation time of the year for me, and so the top off limewater is slow.
