Do you have a GBTA? If not would you consider a trade?

I had the same problem with my current 90 gallon tank. Mine use to be at 690 but it has since came down. Just because it's that high doesn't mean it will start to percipitate. It takes more then just the calcium being high for it to precipitate. Look at this link to when I had posted about my calcium being high. Members helped me out and my tank is doing fine. http://www.austinreefclub.com/topic/17271-calcium-question/

Same for me. I have 8 T5 HO on my 90 gallon and I keep the room temp at 73 or 74 and the tank temp is at 78 or 79. i also have 4 circulation fans in the tank as well.

Well I don't want to be the one here who tries it. I do water changes and will be doing one this weekend. Just wondering. Thanks for the input.

If all water parameters are good, does there need to be a water change done? I know some people do one every week but what if everything is fine? Whats the other benefits of doing a water change if all parameters are good?

Ok after many attempts to rid the tank of what I thought was GHA I Joe believe it's bryopsis. What should I do? I know everyone is saying to raise the Mg but what will it kill in my tank? I have all soft corals, 2 green BTA's, a star fish and the fish I stated in a prior post.

0 ppm

Here are some water test results from today. Ca= 620ppm KH= 107.4ppm PO= 0ppm Nitrate= 0ppm Ammonia= 0ppm Mg= 1400ppm Ph= 8.2 Salinity= 1.024

It's not bryopsis. It's GHA. I looked it up and mine looks nothing like this

I use a filter soak but I change them out about every 3 to 4 days. Thanks for the advice every. Hopefully things start to look better within the next couple of weeks. Also, the hair algae that's on the sand is more of a brownish color. Is this GHA?

I will cut back on the lights when I get home. As for feeding, I only feed once a day and add the food slowly as to not have extra in the tank floating around. I have not changed the filters yet in the RO system as they are only about 4 months old. I am going to replace the DI resin this weekend since it just started to show 001 TDS. I don't feed corals either. I'm going to try the 3 days of darkness this week and then do a water change this weekend. Hopefully it helps. Question: Do I leave the skimmer running during the 3 days of darkness? And do I cover up the tank with a sheet?

I'm feeding a pellet food called spectrum marine formula as well as frozen Mysis shrimp which I rinse in RO water. As for tue water source, I have my own RO DI until and mix my own water. The tank has been set up sine April and yes I moved it from San Antonio. I bought the 90 gallon off a lady over there. Im useing a reef octopus skimmer that I bought this past weekend so I'm still waiting for it to fully break in. It's already pulling out junk but I'm hoping to does more once it breaks in. Will getting a sand shifting goby help with the hair algae on the sand?

Well I have a lawnmower blenny and 4 turbo snails along with about 15 nassarius snails. I also have about 7 hermits.
