Hi all
Great to be here.
Ive been a tropical fishkeeper now for a long time, ive now had a marine tank for about a year now its an open top 220 litres roughly, ive got some yellow tail damsels a yellow tang a clarkii and a firefish and a clean up crew and i hsve 11 corals, ive realised that keeping corals eats the tank of calcium kh and mag and im sure from what ive read that once i master the art of dosing these 3 vitals my corals will do better than they already are but i find the mathematics involved extremely difficult and wonder if someone can help me with it i keep a dedicated record log of all my params ill also be sending a photo of an anemone that i cant seem to identify.
Thanks and i look forward to your response.

Hi zhenya.
Well no more fish, coz the corals fascinate me so much and i recently sold my 8 foot malawi tank, but really miss it, so the future is to get a bigger tank but ive got some learning to do before i upgrade i want to be simplistic like have 3 live rock colonies with some montis growing upwards aswell as the corals i have now i just love the look

Everything looks good there but I would suggest getting your Salinity up to .026 (healthier for the corals) , raising it by only a point an hour, faster than that is stressful to the fish.
As far as dosing goes I'm not very educated in that department as my setup so far hasn't needed much dosing other than the replenishment of the big 3 with water changes. I'm sure someone in #reefsquad can assist you.
Good luck!
