Test kits are new and Kevin@ Red Coral tested and confirmed my readings. The heads are not getting eaten, they look like they are just sliding off. Forgot to mention, the heads seem to shrink up tiny tiny. They never seem to inflate.

can you clarify "good flow" for me? what are you using for return, powerheads etc and how are they placed in your tank. Maybe too much flow through out the entire tank

alright, so where in the tank have you tried? Try placing it near some LR that can redirect any direct flow. Mine have always been most successful where there is very minimal flow actually. Just kind of wiggling.

I have tried a bunch of diferent spots. Hopefully turning of the one Seio will calm the water enough to test this out. If not tomorrow I turn off the 1100 and leave the 600 running.
My tank has pretty steady flow all around. There doesn't look to be any "slow" areas. Will let you know how the experiment went tonight. Thanks

What method are you using to supplement Ca and Alk? At 11DKH, your alk is much higher than I like to see mine at. In fact, some of my SPS tips die back if I get much over 9DKH.
Like the others, I find frogspawn and hammer easier to keep and less sensitive to these kind of things. I support other's idea that they don't like a lot of flow hitting them directly.
