I would lower your salinity slowly to1.025-1.026. Lower temp to about 77-78 degrees. Alk at 8.5-9 cal 430-440. Mag 1320-1350.ph 8.0-8.4

What would you recommend I run my salinity at? ... best way to bring down alk?

1.026

I started off using Red Sea coral pro salt..... now I have switched to the fritz blue box.... maybe a water change with more new salt would help....I was also using polyp lab one for calcium.

It’s bad to change salt box after box, get one brand and stick with it. I personally like Red Sea blue bucket.

I run mine at 1.025

I wouldn’t keep changing salt.

What kind of live rock is in the sump? Live rock seems to have many definitions on this forum. Unless you used real aged live rock from the ocean, or rock from a well established tank your corals are dying because your tank doesn't have the bacteria to support them.

Hey guys so my corals seem to be about the same... the poops on some of them are partially extended.... assuming it’s the alkalinity.... how much muriatic acid should I use to lower from 10.5 to 8?
