Yea, I went out of town for 3 days and had my mom come over only one to do a top off with freshwater. I didn't have her add any two part, so I am pretty sure I had an ALK swing as well. I just got a par meter to check the LED output, and its good. 200 on the sand and 600 at the highest corals. Nitrates are zero. I was thinking bugs, but there are none. I took out a couple of the frags that are STN, and there is no sign of anything at the base. I even macro zoomed and there is NOTHING. Think the instability of the tank caused it I guess? The frags were always brown in my tank, but growing. I guess they reached their stress limits. The monti's are doing well at least. . .sigh

I added a rbta to the tank, and I put the cover on when I added it. It has settled down nicely, but I might leave it on for peace of mind. I dunno. ANYWAYS, I fragged all my stn frags. They seem to be doing well. No stn at least for now. I was able to stabalize my alk (I think).

the foam cover cuts down on the flow from the vortech in my opinion.

I only have it at 50% anyways. The stock return plus the MP10 in a 29gal biocube is A LOT!
