Thanks.

I feed once daily flake or pellets. Different frozen once or twice a week, Rods or Larrys.
I dose BRS 2 part. Add Mg once in a while if I skip a water change.
PH-8.00-8.20
Ca-460
ALK ~8
Temp-77/78

Overall how are your no3 and po4 levels? At a glance calcium seems high... with manual dosing, is there a reason you chose such a high Ca but lower alk?

Just what I have found works with this tank. I am sure I could lower Ca without an issue, but I don't see any ill effect. Lower alk is because of low nutrients. High alk in a low nutrient take pales and burns tips of sps.

I don't test regularly at all. Maybe once in the past year, besides salinity and ph.
I have to clean my glass every 3 or so days.
