What’s up reefers so I’m still new my tank has been running for 9months. I currently have one clownfish and one Red Sea sailfin fish. I also have a hammer coral, anemone, monti cap, Zoas, and an Acan coral. So my concern is I have not seen any progress in my hammer coral and zoas, my acan and monti have grown but slowly. My hammer coral I got I would say after 4 months the tank has been running. and I recently just got the anemone. I have two current led ic pro lights on the tank all perimeters are in check too. I was told maybe I need to get a new light like the Kessil which I’m already planning on getting. My monti is loosing it’s green turning whiteish. I have a brittle starfish as well with two hermit crabs, the “cleanup crew”. My tank is a 55 gallon. My anemone I just got a week ago has been doing good since it found its spot only thing I’ve noticed was it lost a little bit it’s green color on the tips but it’s still green just not as bright as when I bought it and I think all this is happening because my lights is not doing its job.

What are your tank parameters at? This could explain the reason for lack of growth and loss of color. Also, what Kelvin rating and spectrum do your lights put out?
