I would double check with hand testing before making major adjustments.

I reduced my light schedule from 15hrs to 12hrs. I also added a bunch of acro frags recently.

Do you have pictures of the acro frags?

 

[bubbgee]

Wow from 15? That makes sense.

I second this. Don't rely on your Neptune if you're going to make changes...

Good on you for pulling out the test kits. I was concerned when I saw your graph. It looks like calcium jumped up 70ppm one day then back down 60ppm the next day, which is very unlikely

I would just hand test once daily at the same time of day to find your actual trend. Then slowly adjust your dosing accordingly. If your corals look happy, don't freak out over the numbers and make adjustments slowly.
