    U need a tds meter to measure the "total dissolved solids". Good water should read 0ppm or very close to it from what i have read. Some people have said a few ppm is accectable and others say 0 is where u want to be.

    Thanks for all the advice from everyone!!! Ill keep updating. Hopefully ill be able to enjoy my tank again soon. Its been horrible with this stuff in there for months now and i havent wanted to add any corals(even tho i put a few in lol). One other question is i cant seem to keep zoas or palys cuz my emeralds keep picking at them and eating them. Anyone have this problem? Ive caught them doing it and have one frag with about 5 heads in my fuge and one with the same in the dt that i have been watching and pulling them off to stop them. They havent touched it in a few days since the last time i pulled one off. Maybe i scared tem away lol.
