I think that all my issues are due to tampering too much with the aquarium, trying to get the right number when I needed to step back and let things happen naturally.

Maybe it was a bad batch of reagent that brought on all my frustrations.

Thanks for listening and your feed back.
I made the switch from RS blue to Brightwell NeoMarine, I did the first 20g water change this weekend. I wish I had stayed Red Sea but will give the NeoMarine a fair try with the 2 buckets I have. If I don't see any benefit for the extra work I am going back to the Blue Bucket.
