What corals did you lose?  If I have it you are welcome to a frag.

did you  add a manual switch or something else to prevent ato from doing it again? how many times do you have it stir a day? that would suck if my ATO happended to turn on by chance at the same 30 seconds my kalk stirs......might end up like you... hasnt happend in 2 years, so im pretty lazy, I'll roll the dice  ::)

Run a peristaltic pump for your dosing.....that solves that problem.
