For evaporation your roping off with fresh water right? I have to ask.

[darkreef]

yes always fresh. i put more fresh in the tank then salt ( no cover ). i do a 25% biweekly il start doing it every 4 days until the problem clears up. just started getting that red slime and i knew something was wrong and ran to the forms. so i blow my live rock off daily.. it snows pretty bad. so il blow the rocks everyday and water change every 4
