Who here uses reef roids and their recommended amount? I would usually use 2 or 3 little scoops of the stuff and mix it with the frozen, but sometimes just directly feed it to the corals. I actually read the directions on this stuff and it says to use 1/4 teaspoon for 25 gallons! My tank is...

WTH. My acros started to have white tips again. Last time this happened it was for sure due to my alk going over 8 since I run pellets. My alk has been rock solid at 7.1 to 7.3. I would test 2 times a week. Nitrate 0 and Phos 0. Also most of the coral have now lost their vibrant color and look...
