Calibrated my refractometer before I started to lower the salt level. (thank God... measure twice, cut once...) The sg level is actualy 1.026. I usualy use hydrometer to make water so I have not used the refractometer in some time. Guess that's not the problem...

Any other ideas???

When the lights come on, I will take a picture so everyone can see what I mean by "not opening up as they did"

Picture added. See how the ones on the higher part of the rock not extending. And the edges are curling up. The bulbs are about a year old. Could that be it? Looks like the ones in stronger light higher up look worse than the lower ones...
