How soon after you dosed did you test? In your size tanks, I don't know that I'd dose at all....
Have you tested your water parameters of freshly mixed salt to see what that is giving you? What brand do you use? I have run across a few bad batches here and there with really high or really low dKH right out of the container and had to just throw it out.
I'm inclined to think that your dKH test isn't reading properly either. a dKH of 6 is REALLY low and you'd probably be experiencing more problems than you currently are with just 2 acro frags.

I have 5 sps in the tank...i dosed the day before i tested! I have yet to test the new SW water....good idea...im gonna test my dkh again today to double check!
I use oceanic salt in the blue jug! Its worked great for me so far and i really am worried about switching salts!
