What do you keep your levels at?
I was keeping my levels at
Alk 8.4 dkH
Ca 450 ppm
Mg 1400 ppm
Is there a better formula?

Alk 7 dkH
Ca 500 ppm
Mg 1200~1400 ppm
the alk is because I am running a ULNS which requires lower alk levels, if I went higher I start to see burnt tips of the corals.

ok, I was wondering how you measure Calcium that high. The salifert test only give you an indication up to 500 and the Hanna checker only gives you a warning that is over 500.
I guess if you are not careful with your Alk levels that you can have a precipitation event.
