![]() Week 3 weeks in and things are looking really good ordered a new nitrate test kit should be in this week to get some reliable numbers but after the 2 massive water changes and the dosing (doing about 30ml a day till tomorrow bump up)
P04 is down to like 0.06 Nitrate kits is real expired says 30ish my other one says 15 so we will see when new kit comes Some of the corals look incrediblly different and the few sps colonies that were really struggling are starting to get the polyps back and starting to come back, my zoa's have taken off and able to make frags of almost every colony over the last weeks Still waiting on the high end acans to color back up and recover ill get some pics up here today if i can

![]() ....Well funny story kinda... when I was installing them I didn't use long enough screws to go threw the board and hit a stud and in the middle of the night 1 day later the whole light fixtures fell into the water... managed to not start a fire or fry the drivers and also to save most of the leds but some on the left 2 most fixtures burnt out And i haven't got around to doing another order to replace them so I upped the output on the drivers to compensate but the left most one didn't lose any and it was noticeably more bright and with that rock higher corals seemed to like it like that so I just went with it

![]() Update
Well things looking remarkably well nitrates are below 10 now and probably below 5, both of the colonies that were really struggling are now coming back with a vengeance and seeing new growth tips on stuff that was really slowing down in growth ill post some before and after next week Guess i learned my lesson to not get complacent and check all parameters not just big 3 and P04 cause hiding under the hood was the real problem, Still increasing vinegar as not seeing any side effects and then getting a doser going and will just put in on a channel
