What is the new salt you are moving to? What where you using before?

I am using Coralife and I was using Aquacraft ME. I really want to use DDH2O by deltec. This all comes down to potassium content

I will be posting more pictures later but what you are seeing is before I started ultralith up to today. What you don't really see in them is the signifigant reduction of symbiotic algae in the coral. And an increase in polyp formation. This is happening to all the corals but at different rates. I also switched to 14k from 10K. Decide for yourself.
