    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=5378">Reefer4Ever</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 81310<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> November&nbsp;18&nbsp;2016 at 11:00am<br /><br /><img src="uploads/5378/20161118_104130.jpg" border="0" /><img src="uploads/5378/20161118_104055.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />I have my calcium reactor back online and still trying to get it dialed back in. In the past 7 days I have gone from 7.3 to now 8.9. It was clearly a bad time to not be able to make any changes. Magnesium sits comfortably at 1360 and calcium a bit high for me at 480 but I'm sure that's due to my reactor settling back in after being down for a couple weeks. Feed mysis 2 - 3x daily and broadcast coral food nightly of 1/8 tsp Reef Chili and 1/8 tsp Benereef. I was natural able to feed the corals since Sunday though but restarted Thursday night. Temp is between 77 & 78 daily. I have to say I'm pretty impressed I not only haven't killed it but it looks so much better than when I got it home. Thanks and feel free to share any comments or insights. This is going to be about learning for me with this coral as I have never been successful with favites before. <br /><br />Thanks,]]>
