what softies don't deserve good water?

no matter what kind of corals you have water conditions should be as good as you can get them. I agree you don't need a lot of different crap and I said you PH was fine, but Mg is low, and it will continue to drop and you will eventualy have a Ca crash because of it. Salts are natorious for haveing to low of a Mg level as it is a way they can save money. the only thing I would do now is raise you Mg and see what the rest of the things do.
