no problem holding levels on my BB but I'm running a Ca reactor
Might want to check your levels of the SW you make up for the water change, depending on brand, could be salt mix is low and needs supplementing. I use IO and need to bring up the CA and Mg (alk ok) before adding to tank.

Yeah, CA reactor keeps it going. I wouldn't use Coralife for reefing, check other brands for parameters.
