hmmm. I have no idea how to calculate that stuff. Biff is the smart one for that. I use Salifert tests for everything.

Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow

To convert Meq/l to DKH multiply by 2.8. so 3 x 2.8 = 8.4 dkh. hope this helps.

Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow

Have some new corals to show. If any one could help with an ID of the sps that would be great.

Looks good! Those SPS look like acros to me. One might be a hairy millepora.
