Using vinegar in the ato. Been working really well so far. No daily dosing, ato is taking care of it for me. If I end up with too much bacteria mulm then I add less vinegar in the ato at the next refill.
I find the API alk to be quite accurate. I use API for daily testing of alk when I am dialing the 2 part dosing and use salifert alk for really fine tuning.
I had a fowlr shark tank with a koralin denitrator. Best investment ever. Set and forget. 0 nitrate all the time, no algae whatsoever. That was with daily heavy feeding of meaty food.
Used to do Kalk in Ato but switched to manual dosing esv b-ionic. Much easier to control. The evaporation wasnt consistent day to day and added more Kalk on some days and less on other days. Will go with aquaforest 1+2+3+ when I get a dosing pump.
I currently have Radion Gen 2 but not too happy with growth and color. Maybe because I have 0 nitrate and 0 PO4. Feeding more right now to see if that makes a change.

I just want to make sure the XR15 is enough for the tank. I have all Sps. I rather spend less on the XR15 now since I am sure the G5 will come out soon.
