If you feed like cyclopeese or blender mush during the day, you'll start to see them expand, unless they are getting preyed upon.

Very nice tank! Love the big colonies! My questions a bit left of center, my apologies, by using NSW, have you seen less RTN with sps?

Also, what's your alk, how often do you change water?

Lighting doesn't 'cause' algae to grow like that. Looking at the pics, you have a phosphate problem. Phosphate inteferes with calcification, which is why the corals aren't growing over the dead...

Did you calibrate it with a calibration solution. If so, my guess is predation.

Bleaching has nothing to do with ca or mg. Bleaching is related to higher temperature and light intensity. Do you have any pics?

Where did you come up with "15in/sec" and other readings? On the reef crest and reef front, many acros are getting 3meters/sec. I don't think you can give it too much, and PE definitely isn't a good...
