 What does a choride imbalance do? I thought the ESV liquid Mg was magnesium choride.

I don't think that would work. Higher Ca almost always equals higher growth. Acros in my tank grew like grazy with high Ca. with my Ca at 500 and Alk at 8 dKH I was able to pull a good 30 frags (min size 1 1/2") a month out of my 180.
