I did my research and found that with the placement in my tank from the surface and the PAR readings of my light (Current USA orbit marine), the frogspawn would receive anywhere from 80-100 PAR. Is there anyone who has tried this (or any other euphyllia corals) with the same light setup?
I have been monitoring my alk every day (mostly) for the past 2 weeks and have seen some interesting trends to which I cant figure out the cause.

I am stuck at a roadblock, for the life of me I cannot figure out why I cannot keep euphyllia Corals and such alive? I have lost some acans, acros and now my candy cane is not looking good. They tend to deflate, shrivel down and eventually die, yet I have some Aussie lavender acan, Echinata...
Water Chemistry Question: When water evaporates our tank, salt remains, that's why the higher concentration of salt and less water, hence the SG rise. Does this happen with Ca, Alk & Mg when water evaporates? Do these elements stay in the water? Normally we pour some water in to bring the SG...
