Yes I use that much :o. I throw the mass equivalent of 2-3 large cleaner shrimps worth of food into my tank daily. It's not too expensive. The bottom shelf gasoline stuff (as Dave Morris likes to call it :laugh: ) at the grocery store is usually on sale for arounde $10 for 1.75L. It took over a...
I dose about 50-60mL per day (split into two doses; one in the morning and one in the evening). I've been dosing some bac lately ("special blend" by Microbe-lift). Still on the fence about its usefulness.
115g tank... about that for total system volume, actually.
Maybe 80lbs of LR? Totally mixed...
SDMAS September 9th Meeting @ 7:00pm
We've got a great meeting planned for you this month! A lot of effort has gone into planning a meeting with a nationally known speaker and some unique raffle prizes!
John (copps) Coppolino lives in Virginia and keeps over 1000 gallons of saltwater...

It goes down after dosing, for sure. But, for example, when I wake up in the morning, or after I get home from work, so no dosing has happened recently, it's been sitting about 25 units higher than normal...
I use a calcium reactor with vodka. No kalk. Teeny almost pointless fuge. I stopped even looking at my tank's pH over a year ago. My pH probe is forever in my reactor effluent.
Oh, and Nick, yes, I have noticed higher ORP lately. Didn't you ask me about that?
Currently doing 25-30mL vodka twice daily along with about 5mL of the bac a day. Please, anyone reading this, do not go throwing 60mL of vodka into your tank!!! :D
Mine completely shatterd into tiny pieces when I tried to get it off that stupid recycled-tire plug. I glued the two biggest pieces down. It hasn't started to branch yet, just LOTS of encrusting....
Wow, 4 days and I'm already getting polyp color shift!! :D My tricolors are getting those translucent bright green polyps. They never have those in my tank :o
