I might add some iodide....just a little like half of a cap. If you can test first. I recomend dripping Kalkwasser in your tank. It will take care of your Alk and Cal and will also make the lps corals open way up. It also help deplete Phosphates. How are your powerheads aimed? They like current that has bounced off of rocks or the glass, called laminar currents I think. I am no expert but my lsp are doing great but this may be luck. Anyone else help here?
