Try blowing the white spots off with a turkey baster or something. Could be detritus.

The new rockwork pulls the tank together great. I hope that you keep this running for years to come. There really aren't too many, handful, of subgallon sps tanks.

Good luck.

MTO(manual top off ) twice a day,10 drops of A,B and C red sea coral foundation-every day,every sunday -glass cleaning and 90-100% water change.
Inside the canister-mini 25w heater,air stone and live rocks to the top.
There was NO green phase and 2 days long brown phase.

I would suggest not doing a 90-100% water change weekly. Doesn't lend itself to the stability of the tank.
