one more thing..
my star polyps have stayed opened 24/7. Weird. I have never seen it like this. At night, they are all tucked away..and come out when the light comes out. But now, it's open even at night. Any idea?

If your going to dose baking soda, your going to have to also use borax(according to Tangster). He says to mix it 4/1 4 being BS and 1 being Borax. Pm Tangster to get a better mix ratio.
I do use Marine snow for yrs now and I think it works great. I also use Reef Solutions for trace elements. Luna
What is borax
