    to change water or not?

    It looks to me (the corals you mentioned) actually do better under slightly dirty water. acropora is another story. I had similar things happen to me and all the aforementioned corals thrived. however my sps bleached out shrunk and died. :'(

    For sale forum?

    I have no problem with losing that forum but on a side note, anything I ever sold was for a loss of what I paid for it.and most if not all things sold after takin into account what is spent in this hobbie is sold at a loss + it helps those that need equip.ect. purchase it for far less money.

    find the paint for the backwall of the tank

    I rolled my first tank and didn't like the stipple it left so I brushed the next one and liked it better having said that' within 6 months it was covered with coraline algae and I cant even tell its painted. but it looked good during that transition.

    find the paint for the backwall of the tank

    any decent latex will work. semi gloss. you can roll or brush just allow plenty of time between coats or you will pull off the first coat.
