After a battle with aefw and loosing some corals I decided to tear down and start over.
I completely dismantled tank put remains coral in qt, dipping every 5 days with rps. All rock went into qt also. I took this opportunity to paint the tank as well. I bought some new rock and new substrate. While I liked the cleanliness of the tile I opt for black substrate. All put back together now and happy to be aefw free. Added some peppermint shrimp which from what I read will consume flatworm. Worth a shot I guess.

Yeah I liked the tiles but didn't care for the look with the blacked out glass.
Did 50% new water when refilled and alk was at 11.2 dkh. Had a few Burnt tips hoping it comes down soon Being I'm still new at this the flatworms almost made me quit but I'm glad I didn't

So upon restarting tank i had two boxes of salt that had really high alk and low mg.
I never thought of testing nsw as ive been using reefers best for a couple years and was always good. My alk was at 11.2 dkh wow!! I notice very quickly that i was haveing alk burn on acros. After some reading i decided to use muriatic acid to slowly lower alk buy rotaing and treating water in seperate bin. I was suprised at how fast the muriatic acid works to lower alk. Although i took a week of water rotations to get it to 7.5 Funny though ever thou having alk burn some of the brown acro colored up greatly.
