How long were you feeding the dt's before this started? My friend was usind that food everyday. When he started slacking months later and not keeping up on the feeding routine his corals started to decline and not open very good. But. my first guess would be phosphates, I'd test your ro water...
Def cool. Only problem is you need a separate tank for that kinda stuff. Feng had a blue ring octo a while back that was awesome lookin. I think it's pretty poisonous though
Try lowering your calcium to around 430, I think over 500 is on the high side. I know a cal level might not directly have an impact on your problem but you never know, in this hobby everything you do can impact 4 other things. And you said your rodi water is testing at 1 tds? Did you ever test...
I see what you mean, i think the new pic looks blurry too. Fish and rock work. Nothing looks defined. The old camera pics do look clearer and sharper. Same prob i have with mine it always looks blurry >:(

Exactly what i was getting at ;D Hate when something is suppose to be reef safe and it's not when you put it in your reef! Hope mine don't turn psycho I just added 5

When you do test with the handheld make sure your testing out of a glass container, plastic can skew the TDS numbers higher.

Really, I never heard that before. Good info, thanks!
I took advantage of premium too at 11:58 last night with 2 mins to go on their sale. 2 buckets of salt to my door at 10% off with free shipping all from my couch! But... I too would of liked to go there as well ;D
