No prob! Let us know how it goes. Bumping alk to 8.5 and swapping bulbs might do the trick. My Acros perked up after similar changes.

Re: ideal salinity for coral reef tank

I've had better luck with Acros at 1.026. It's a tiny bump, but they seem to dig it. My tank's similar to yours, 80 gallons with LED lights, and I dose calcium and magnesium weekly. Maybe give it a shot?
