good day everyone!

Quick question for everyone around here as I am new to SPS world and had things dialed in I believe but then went to Puerto Rico for 75 days for work and while the tank maintained itself mostly some things for our of whack. Been back since June or so and am finally starting to see my frags encrust again, but not much vertical growth. However a few pieces are growing back over parts of it that died. That's a good thing!
So here are my parameters as of now

N03 5-10
P04 .03
Salinity 1.024 (a little more and an slowly raising it)
Mag 1450
Alk 7.7 (unsure on this number really/mixed feelings on it)
Calcium 460

Lights are 2 Hamilton 14k 250 watt bulbs
Flow is down to 3 MP40's for now (one is at ecotech getting services and my gyre is heading out as well)

This seem like a solid path to stay on or maybe tweak a few numbers?

Looks in the generally good range to me. I'd bump the alk up to 8.5 or so, but otherwise seems OK.

It can take a while for acros to settle down and start to grow again. Think of it in the vein of "they did not go downhill overnight, so they will not come back overnight." I would just keep on doing good things and wait it out.

That’s my intention, guess I’m curious about the numbers. Especially the alk one.

Also I need to have the title changed to “watcha think”, not whatever I accidentally typed in a hurry
