Coral not opening up.

[buckh77]

I want to introduce myself, new tank guy here (five months) and loving the hobby, opinions and just plan fun of keeping an ecosystem in my house. I am struggling to keep my corals open, my nitrates and ammonia are almost nothing, (weekly water changes) and I exclusively use RO water for top offs. My salt level is 1.025 Mag 1320 ALK 10.9 and CAL 375. I was told to use benereef and to dose my tank every two days with it. (Instructions call for three day) He did set me up with a wave maker and the controller quit working so I am using a power head on the other end of the tank pointing back to the inlet. I am also doing stability every morning and Lugals solution four drops a week. I hope I provided enough information and any advice or teaching moments would be appreciated. Thank you,

Chris Williams
