I ran a 54g corner tank for a year or two with black sand. I thought it looked great. Ended up taking the tank down so i can't say how it would look further down the line.

This could very well be the case. I've run into this problem before. My sps seemed to STN from the top down though when the tank was too clean.

i cut a piece of black vinyl and wrapped it around my reactor to keep the light out.

i used the 'rolling blackout' approach. lights off for 3 days then on for 1-2 days then off for another 3 days until they were gone.

Black out periods are the only thing that worked for me. Peroxide didn't work for me at all.

every time i've set up a new tank, i first notice a boom in copepods on the glass etc., followed by a boom of flatworms that munch on the copepods. thats why i ask about the age, but 40 is a little beyond new. You're right about them being interesting to watch...as long as they are not the type that likes to munch on corals.
-
flatworms are probably feeding on the copepods. is this a new system?

what test kit are you using to test alk?

^ ditto, could be alk burn.

i did the same thing with the BRS mg, and i got zero results with a mag of 2200. i switched to tech-m and it died within a week with a mg of 1700. (scratches head)

i have my controller set to keep the reactor pH at 6.7, and i run the coarse Gen X media.

i've seen those tunze on sale at a few places for that price. i was told that a newer version of the 6045 was coming out, hence the cheaper sale price of the older models. i thought i got a killer deal as well until people on another forum burst my bubble lol.
