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.

So I figure a small update and I'll get a pic when lights come on...
I was using geissmann 21k bulb on my tank but upon setting up a new Coral bed I got a halide with a new xm 20k..to my surprise the geissmann looked violet compared to the xm. So I bought a new bulb for my dt.. Very nice bulb.
Still fighting a slightly anorexic tank with pale colors. I upd the feeding and now have upd the AA and CV. should see a difference in a week or so.
