the salt is 1.023
ph 8.3
temp 78 deg
I have 2 white 2 actinic 110watts 46.5" bulbs for a total of 440 watts of light.
I have to check the others tonight

I dose the strontium with the calcium on a weekly basis, add the iodine directly to the sump and mid week I add another cap of strontium.

You think a quick FW dip could have hurt it, then why would it ever have opened up in the first place?

I think it was the water change although everything else seems fine.

I do think I overdosed with API tap water conditioner, I use 2 capfuls in the new mix but when I went online to look to see if that was a problem I could not find anything out about overdosing tap water conditioner.

I also changed the phos lock, added 3 tablespoons to a filter bag and it is in the filter sock.
