I check my calcium level daily using a Pinpoint electronic calcium meter. I have found that I need to add about 1oz of liquid calcium every other day to maintain a 450 level. Current level today is 457 tank 1 and 463 tank 2. Added calcium last night to both tanks.

How many kgs of liverock do you have in there also? Many thanks for the answers.

PS, you have a very nice tank. Hopefully my own tank can be as nice one day.

The return pump is a Rio 2500. The skimmer pump unknown as it came with the unit. Lighting 150 watt 15K Phoenix and Koralia 2 pump. Cooling fan. That is it for equipment. There is approx 40 - 50 lbs of rock in there believe it or not, can't tell but from the photo but there are only 3 pieces in each tank, mostly Tonga table top. Thanks for the response and praise.

As far as your lighting can you tell us the fixture? I notice it is a good ways away from the tanks surface as well.
I have a 150 sunpod over my solana however, I have been hesitant on adding a clam due to light spread.
Do you feed your tank phyto or any other type of food for filter feeders, or just what the fish eat and expel? Very nice.

The light is a double ended 150 watt MH that came with the unit. No I don't feed the clams other than to moniter the calcium level on a daiuly basis. I think your sun pod will be ok my lights are about 8 inched from the top of the glass
