Chelmon was striked by acanthurus leucosternon and didn't survive

I have rised rockscape a few centimeters up

I have cut 3 big acropora colonies into 40frags, making more space for new species

Every change makes aquarium look worse, but I hope it will better soon.

My corals have lack of PE (Polyp Expansion), no colour, thin pale tissue and looks starved so after discussion with Aquaforest I have made a few changes in maintaining my reef:
-AF Strontium
-feeding everyday AF Pure Food, AF Energy, AF Power Food, Reef Pearls, AF Vitality
-4tubes of blue light 10-22
-4tubes white + 4tubes blue 12-18 (waiting for 2new blue tubes)
-raising Ca from 380 to 420
-lowering kh to 7
-raising salnity from 33 to 35
-sand is back
-smaller water changes 30l except of 60l weekly

So...
Sand

Light presence is jawbreaking! one word crystal clear, no yellowish

After Aquaforest support most of my corals shyly shows polyps, those in worst condition without changes

Aquaforest is the best company for me, last wednesday after my ask for help I was visited by their worker who lives almost 800km from me! It's the best user support I have ever seen.
Who thought that heavy feeding after lights swich off will heal corals so fast! I was lowering my Balling dosing since 2,5 months and I have stopped at 3x60ml/daily. When I was advised by Grzegorz from Aquaforest there's a boom

thursday kh 8,4dkh
yesterday kh 7dkh
today kh 6.3dkh
WOW!!!!

i can finally raise my balling dosing :D

and all of the goodies except of Iodium was in my shelf :D

that's my first aid kit :D

Every day brings surprises ;)

I have received package from Aquaforest s deepest cave where lays the graal of reefing ;)

Damian's Aquarium ;)

I got water from his tank to turn up my reef

Beside that, things are getting better every day. Today I have measured alkalinity with 6.2dkh result. Balling supplementation rised to 3x120ml daily

It means I have doubled balling dosing in less than a week!
