Had some stuff going on but have managed to correct. Did an ATI test to know whats going on. The one coral I have that still isn't looking good and one I have always struggled with is Acans. I picked up on a video recently though that Acans don't plump up when phosphates are to high. Since mine where and I am slowly bringing them down I wonder if that's been my issue? Phos to high for them?
 
lol. My ati results where phosphate .54
Instead of turning my reactor back online with GFO I just put some in a media bag and dropped it in the sump (in between sump section walls, where chamber one spills over into return pump area). I figured it would let it slowly go down and not get churned up if I had dropped in filter sock. I now am getting a reading on my salifert test of something closer to the .25 but its hard to tell. trying to slowly get it down to the .03-.05 range. All other coral in tank rebounded or looks great (favia, lobo, torches, montis, chalice).
