*sigh*
Little set back... Tank didn't look great I noticed on Sunday but didn't really think much of it. Monday and Tuesday was so busy and wasn't paying much attention to the tank besides the Sailfin  Then I got home tonight and it didn't look good. Not terrible but coloration and polyp extension was poor. Tested and found ALK was 4! Wow it dropped fast. I have noticed that a few of my corals have been growing so fast lately that I can literally see the different every day or two. Especially my big red cap....its really 'branching out'. I guess I need to test ALK a few times a week instead of just once a week or two. One acro is receding a little from the bottom  Hopefully I can get the ALK back up to 7 over the next few days and things will get better. EDIT: Added some Two part and raised it to 4.5 for tonight. In the morning, I will go for 5 and then 5.5 at night. Keep going until 7-8....

So I guess ALK dropped real fast. Like from 8 to 4 in a week. Not sure if its just from growth or not though... Regardless, nothing looks like it will die or anything. Just a tiny bit if recession on the encrusted part of one acro. Hopefully it will stop now that the ALK is on the way back up. Its now at 5.5

Seems to be a whole rash of alk sucking coral incidents lately. Same issue for me (dkh 6), although not as low as yours. 4?...
 Seems to low to be just "coral usage".....no? Whats your ca & mg at?
