Well I've been busy with other things and unfortuanley my feef flet the neglect. About 3 months ago something got out of wack and I almost lost a couple colonies. My 3 species of Montipora bleached a little and i almost lost my green slimer that's 7" tall with new branches. The slimer is now in 6 pieces in a friends tank doing well and coloring back up. Other corals have been slightley stunted in growth also.
I think i found the problem that has been messing with my reef for about a year now. I bought a Pinpoint PH probe and discoverd i have low low PH. My PH was 7.5 at night and 7.8 in the day. I callibrated the probe and it was in fact that low.
I since have added a line to the skimmer intake and ran it outside, that helped but i slacked on the water changes a couple moths ago and didn't do them weekley like i normaly doo. Things are back on track and my corals are getting happy again and starting to grow.
Here are some pics.
