If it's not dead already, it's certainly dying. Alk swings tend to do that. You need very stable parameters for LPS and SPS corals.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting it didn't look much different than when I got it, except that the centers were bright green.

Been trying to get my alk stable going to have setup my doser

Thanks Erik
