I'm documenting in this video... the red (ORA), purple (UC) and the two yellow (TSA) Gonipora/Flower Pot corals area in need of a re-aquascape on the left hand side.  I fragged the pineapple soft coral and glued down several new Zoas onto the BRS Aquadome frag mounts for grow out.  I soaked the Tunze 6040s in one quart critic acid solution and harvested a large Tom's aqua container packed full of Chaetomorpha from the sump with a quick walk thru of my goto tools.  Thanks for watching!

5 Kessill a360we:
- reduced lighting schedule by 30mins and increased intensity by 5%
- Refugium 24/7 with Kessil H160 plus a CFL gro spot light

9.2 dKH (target range 8.4 thru 9.8dKH) easier to read on RS test kits
Mg 1380
Ca 465

PO4 0.04
NO3 ~7ppm
Potassium n/a
ORP n/a

Red Sea blue bucket

Feeding: 
- SFBB 2-3 frozen cubes Mysis, blookworms
- NLS 3-4 algae wafers
- easyReefs

Dosing: 
- Kalkwasser drip ~800ml per day full saturated solution
- RS alkalinity powder 9 grams daily
- Seachem FUEL / AcroPower 2 Capfuls on alternating weeks

Misc:
- swapped 100 grams RS coconut carbon every 15 days or so
- CalRx is running but CO2 is offline; I found it challenging to strike a happy balance between DT pH and running the CalRx plus Kalk combo.  I cycled off the CO2 gas for couple weeks and now my lowest pH reading is 8.27pH before the lights turn-on trending as high as ~8.47pH.  Look fwd to hearing about others solutions?
