    Just an update, it appears that the frogspawn will make a full recovery. All of the color has not returned yet, but it has regained much of its size.

    I also moved it up about 7-8 inches from the sandbed and it seems to be liking that.

    taking this into consderation...
    I've had this problem along time back when I had been running my former tank...
    to make the long story short dosing addtitives will play big parts in how your spawns,hammers,torches will feel...If that is your not testing your parameters and don't have the time too..
    From my experience with keeping spawns and fellow reefers who have great spawn forrests..All I consider on doing is just to keep a straight water changing scedules and leave the dosing off for now...
    you will see how diffrent your reef turns out...
    this is not to take anything away from fellow dosers...
    this is my care for my reef...;)
    and oh boy does it show results, and less worry

    Since you quoted me, I gotta say...

    There's no way that water changes alone will make up for deficiencies in alk, calcium and mag... especially if you have stony corals using it. It may replenish "trace elements" but not the 3 main components of coral skeleton. Your levels will eventually go below those necessary for the corals to grow, and the corals will not do well... the thing to do is TEST and DOSE.
