ya reef crystals was definitely higher, I'm mixing up a 100 gallons at time so I do pour it relatively fast. Honestly with a mixing station TMP is awesome it dissolves so fast and clean I don't have to worry about cleaning my container. time is important to me and there's no risk of contamination if all i put in there is salt and RODI water. the price though, it hurts. if any other salt mixes cleanly and fast I'm willing to look into it.

esv b-ionic mixes even faster. But I think it’s even more expensive than tmp lol.
lol, ya more expensive that would definitely not be the direction i want to head.
Ok its been over 2 weeks and im still not at my goal of 9dkh dosing 60ml of cal/alk i should of been there in a week. So my tank is using it but i only have a few frags. Can coralline algae really be using that much cal/alk? Its going somewhere and thats all i can come up with? Heres my alk graph, i test right before my daily dose. Except for the one spike at 7.8 that was right after i dosed, i should of just left it out. Lmk what yall think.

Assuming you that the test results, regardless of where the elements are going, you need to ramp it up if you’re not pushing up to your target. Increase it in 10% increments.
I increased it tonight, ive got it going the right direction. I just really want to get it 9 dkh so i can move on and find my daily consumption and start auto dosing instead of by hand.
Absolutely, coralline is a big consumer of Cal/Alk. How much do you have in the system?
If you said it in a previous post, i couldn't find it and I apologize, what text kit are you using?
Sorry about the delay ive been working alot this past week. Yes i do have quite a bit of coralline algae and its getting thicker(best way i can describe it) and spreading. As far as test kit im using a hannah checker. I got the tank to 9.5 dkh and im in the process of letting it sit for 5 days to figure how much to dose daily.
