Acans losing color

[bingus]

My acans and anenome don’t look as bright and colorful as they used to be and I’m not sure why. I have an acro and digi and other lps/soft corals that still have the same color I got them with. Anybody know why? Maybe not enough light?

dosing Red Sea ab+ daily nitrate 5-7~ and phosphate <.1

Tank looks brand new with algae issues. Your nutrients are probably getting consumed by it. I was able to keep coral early on but it didn't really thrive until my tank matured a little.

I rarely end up with acans the same color as when i buy them. Sometimes better...sometimes worse. I just slowly(over weeks and months) adjust them and observe any changes and try to get them where i want them. Would also say that the best colors and the best conditions for growth and health are not always the same.
