You need o be checking alk with such little sps in the tank? Man I better get on it with my tank. I just started sps.

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

Prob not but after a week or two yes. Alk will.prob drop after 2 or 4 days after next coral batch.
Sps grow and suck the alk man. After a good alk sucking u will need to start supplementing cal too.
