Fish still happy, the spots on his tail have disappeared, and his fins haven't detieriate.

Starting to notice some brown algae forming on the live rock. Also spotted a wired worm creature coming out of my live rock and moving into my manmade rock when ever I change the water. After some research they are called a 'Bristle worm' they eat leftover food and fish waste.

My ph is a little high I read some where that plain white vinegar will bring down the ph. I am unsure of the dosage, so here goes some trial and error. I started with 40 drops in ¼ cup of tank water… tested and no change. Added another 40 drops in ¼ cup of tank water, and didn't see any change… maybe I didn't use enough I'm not sure... need to do more research. Another solution is a water change.
