Mystery we are like twins posting. Por did you ever get your tank straight? Never got any parameters posted up let me know if your good.

I didn't post the specific numbers but everything tests good. The RTN stopped after I broke away the dead portion. Nothing else in the tank seems to have been affected by whatever caused the die back.

All of my SPS is slowly dying. I talked to Kevin about this and he is more then sure it is my lights. I have 2x400w over my 150g (48x24x30) Hopefully I will be able to stop the dying today when he gets here..... :sad:

Well just in case anybody is REALLY wondering....here's my params at 1:20 pm today:

Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate all 0
pH 8.3
Alk 4.0
Calc 270
Mg 1512
SG 1.26

Now the oddest thing to me is the Calk. I think my kit might be bad because it tested exactly the same the last time I tested it. I add liquid calcium about twice a week. So while it's possible, I'm doubting the number.

I've got to test with another kit to make sure that number is a good number.
