Big Tank = lot of work

Temp of 27 if stable should be perfect. That's what I have my tank running at.

Good luck. No new fish added?

no. I was really stressed to get all under control after the maincrash. Now trying to increase Kh and CA. I am dosing so much and it does't imincrease. Only PH which is near to 8.4. After all parameters are stable, than i will start with fishes and corals. Lost so much money now, because of not knowing and constructiion mistakes.
 
What about Kalkwasser? What do you use for dosing? Those cigars needs a humidifier. LOL!!

Ayyy did not saw that Cigars Pic was added. Phone went off Battery. Btw. The box is a humidor
I am Dosing daily in the Tank of Net 6600 Liter almost 1.7 liter of
Calciumchlorid-Dihydrat, Natriumhydrogencarbonat. Basis is Balling. It cannot be with so less Cirals that the consumption is so high. Also this daily up downs in KH and CA
Any Idea.
 
Your tank is filling up nicely!
Is your tank going to be skimmerless?
