too much current? it really sounds like that coral may have been ready to have issues before you received it.
Disturbing substrate is a delicate task. Disturb as little as possible.
Ok, all i know is it reads accurately.
My old refractometer clearly states to calibrate with ro/di
I run a bare bottom tank and couldn't be happier. Do not reuse substrate from a move unless you thoroughly clean it. NOT worth the effort IMO. New...

Since you have two aptasia, i would highly discourage any pepp shrimps. If you had a severe outbreak, sure, but two no way. Best route is what...
you are doing your top off's into the sump? do you dump a lot of ro/di water in the sump at one time?
