Yesterday I raised my light (hell its a 150mh, shouldn't even have to do this) with no change. So I did some research last night on flow for leathers and everyone said that they require high flow. Right now I am running about a 55x turnover rate and with the 750gph off its 25-30ish. So just going to visit my dad and hopefully a little someone will show a bit of response to the reduced flow by the time I get home.

As I said to a friend, I am also going to try blue xenia in the tank. If I can't keep that I have some issue somewhere that is not leather friendly BLAH!
Softies can be funny like that, the success of xenia has allot to do with Mag & Nutrients and I for one can't keep the stuff worth a dam.
