08 May 2018 Update:
Tested my water, all parameters were good except Salinity was down to 1.020 which is quite bad for Coral I believe.
Decided I would try my hand at mixing my own so I purchased some Red Sea Salt and mixed it up to about 1.030 and added that when I did a water change. I will test the water again tonight to see if it has made much difference, hoping to get the water Salinity to roughly 1.025.
As it was my first time mixing myself I just purchased a small bag, however it was relatively easy and I will probably keep doing it. I will be purchasing a bucket of the Red Sea Coral Pro Salt in the coming weeks.
The Royal Dottyback has gone straight to work digging the sand out from under one of the rocks! I am currently pushing it back in every few days but I might have to start gluing my Rocks and Coral to make sure I don't have any accidents. At the moment the Rocks and Coral are just sitting/balancing on each other.
Purchased another 2 small pieces of Coral from a new LFS we found, don't really have any idea what they are.

- One appears to be Orange Plate Coral (I believe eventually this may grow too big and I will have to sell it off)
- The other looks similar style to the Green Brain Coral we have, any ideas?
