Also, you might've forgot in the mad scramble to fix what's wrong, but you will still have to increase alk and calcium manually, and also magnesium if necessary to keep the other two stable.  The reactor will keep things stable, but might not be able to raise the levels.

From what I have read you need to raise your ca and alk to the proper levels with supplements then the reactor should be able to maintain the levels. From my experience coral bleaching is most of the time caused by alk and ph problems.

Dave when is the last time you have added Kalk to your reactor and how much did you add? I am thinking with your new larger tank you may need to go with a bigger reactor.
