Back again, any more ideas, or should I just tap out?

Also just checked my alk and calcium for the day. Alk is 7.6, calcium 440. Why does my alk drop continuously? Is that normal? Is there any hope that the trumpets would make it, or no?
 
Ok. That's way to much light for that tank. Step 1 I'd turn the whites down to 15% and the blues to 30%. I'll check my reef log for what I had mine set to before I switched to kessil
 
Think that's a huge problem in both tanks? Someone else suggested to turn the led off in the 90 too. Could it be frying my coralline as well? If everything else seems good, could that be why nothing is growing, and even the gsp grows and dies?
 
Ok. No more buffer crap. Mix up a jug of Randy's two part with the baked baking soda and add 5ml. And then add 5 ml, every day, at the same time for a week
 
I'll do that then! So is it possible that both tanks just have too much light and that's the whole problem?
 
Possibly but let's start small. Turn down the lights, stop the buffer, and use Randy's baked baking soda recipe. When you turned down the lights did the color shift drastically?
 
Get the ph meter and if you afford it the Hannah checker and let's see how we do. What does the api kit for ph say?
 
Ha, you could say that. Seems to lost almost all the brightness, and that's with the white channel at 25% and the blues about 35%
