Thanks man. Sometimes I think I am pretty lucky in this hobby. My Ato broke so I've been manually pumping top off water into the tank and today, while pumping, I totally forgot that I plugged in and within a few minutes 15 gallons of fresh water dumped in the tank. Such a rip head move. Lol salinity went down to 1.022 which is okay for now.....I hope🙊 I was gonna hook up the Ato straight to the 40 gallon drum but thank god I didn't. 🙈

That's his secret! Stress the corals out once in awhile to keep them strong! Kids, don't try this at home. Should only be attempted by a professional.

Lots of poop in the water from fishes(higher nutrient) and no angels or any other potential coral nipper.

Lol, that's simple.

No other vitamin or amino acid dosing?
Do you mind sharing what do you feed your fish? I saw LRS frozen food at JL but it's way too expensive I don't know if it will be worth it.

I have tried all kinds of supplement from zeo to redsea. I think for the most part, they are supplements. Your core focus should still be on keeping calcium, alkalinity and magnesium in the correct and more importantly stable condition. Out side of that, colors of the corals can be adjusted with some additives if you are not happy with it and lastly, higher nutrient doesn't mean bad water quality, it just means there are more "food" particles for the corals to feed on. Hope this helps.
