Man your salinity looks low. Do you always run it at 1.021? Or is that due to evaporation without topoff? Just curious.
ya i was suprised when i got that reading. I do run a tunze ATO so i don't know where the drop came from. trying to push it up to the 1.025-1.028 range again

Oops, what I meant to suggest/ask was was it perhaps due to salt creep
rather than evaporation. Evaporation should raise salinity not lower it hehe. I think of salt creep as a form of salt
evap. :-)

anyway.. Two weeks worth of salt creep perhaps.

ya that could be why, never had an issue before and i usually just whip it off (which i get alot of) but it was a month since my previous water change

its the old reef tank story right now

when i took those previous pictures it was looking the best it has been in months (had an hair algae issue i was fighting and finally won) and than this. well on the side note my corals are getting great growth and the zoas are coming close to considering fragging in the next 2-3 months
