For the past four or so days none of my lps corals are extending much and the zoas have been closed for the most part. I am starting to have a little cyno break out because I am pretty sure I have been over feeding. The RBTA and the Sps seem to be great. The fish are doing great I don't have a super nice test kit so I don't have a ton of chem results but the nitrate and nitrite are are good. I had my water tested on sat and they said the alk was a little up and the ca was a bit low so I did a five gal water change and have adjusted dosing accordingly. Given that I am still so new at this I would love any help or ideas as to how to get them back happy. Maybe some ideas of what to test for ?? And even some recommendations on a good rounded test kit. Preferably one that's not super supper pricey. :)

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift that's why they call it the present.
