What is NSF? What change are you talking about? If you have coral that is STN'ing and algae is winning out over it, that does not mean your coral is doing good. :D

tank levels are natural seawater... the corals overall are looking good... some frags i have lost to stn...


but strange thing is that the coraline algea is growing so much that it is actually overtaking some of the corals at the base eventhough the coral tissue at the base is pefectly healthy and growing.. some of the coraline algea is growning on montipora that is healthy..

in otherwords the higher calcium levels have started a rapid growth of teh coraline algea...
