Water Source:  Dayton City
RODI
Salt Used:  Mix of RSCP, RC, IO
Water Change Frequency:  Inconsistent
Last Water Change: 3-5 months back. Can't recall
Additives Used:  BRS CA, Mag & Alk.

- No Tissue Recession on any coral
- Colorful SPS & LPS
- Nitrates at 15, PO4 .02
- Heavy Feeding with DIY Fish Food
- Good polyp extension
- Been a long time since last water change
- Nitrates are much higher. (Nitrate test done by Sailfert test kit not Triton)

What was causing the Tin in your water and how did you remove it?

I think it was my Ranco controller probe. I put a plastic bag around it. The issues you are having could also be from tin. I thought my tin was in 200 range but looks like it was 20ish so similar to where you are. So tissue possibly from tin and coloration from low nitrate
