If my calcium was kind of low would that have anything to do with it. Im currently bringing it up. but its around 330 or so. Other than that my nitrites are 0 and ammonia is 0, nitrates are 0, alk is 2.5 meg/l i think thats kind of low? my Mg. is around 1170 wich is also kind of low but i am raiseing that as well. and salinity is 1.025-1.026 |

I did notice something, i shut my halide light off and kept my pcs on and about 30 mins later it is starting to look better, opening up expanding and all?? Why is this, to much light perhaps but its been doing well since before this so im not sure? | |

You have to take into consideration what type of lights he came from also. If he came from PC lighting to your 400w MH, thats a big change. Thats why its recommened to place them on the floor and if needed, a little shaded. Luna | |
