    I am a little confused by this thread, maybe jumping around for me a bit. Could you answer the following parameters?

    Salinity
    Alk dKH
    Cal mg/L
    NO3 mg/L
    pH

    SG is 1.026. The others I'm not sure. The test kits I have don't measure that high. My cal, alk, and mag are way high. I'm switching to regular instant ocean salt on next WC.

    Looks fine to me when i look at the first pictures. All the corals i've had, has always been adjusting to the tanks parameters and lighting for a while. But then they start to open up. I can see that the tentacles are not as open, but the disc of the zoas seems more open in your tank! :)

    This is about all I get out of my bam bams now. I did switch to LEDs yesterday but they weren't looking good for the last week anyways under the MH. Am, Nitrite and nitrate are at 0. Cal, Mag and Alk are still high. Doing a WC with instant ocean tonight. So hopefully that will start coming down. [​IMG]
