    Recently I have a small avalanche in my tank so I move my LR around the piece that I move just a tad higher in the tank has my Califlower coral on it so now its in a little more direct flow. Well the upper 3/4 of the coral is doing great but it i can see the skeleton on the lower parts. Could it be to much flow for it or to much direct flow from my MP40? The light are out right now but Ill snap a picture tomorrow.

    Nevermind I figured out why my dKH is at 6dKH so im sure if i bring it back up to 9dKH over the next day or so it will come back.

    Try to add 1 dKH per day to keep from adding more stress.

    Watch your Mg and Ca and keep them in line.
