Annoyed Corals, "Good" Parameters - What am I missing?

Ugly pictures, but I'm already seeing better coral extension today after running the UV overnight.

Which UV is it?

Green Killing Machine 24 watt, it was like $100 on Amazon.

Oh yeah 24 watts of pure Dino killing power lol

Which UV is that?

Some Dino’s don’t go into the water column at night so UV doesn’t help


Water changes will reduce your nitrates
May even make your corals mad


Manganese is always at depleted levels in our tanks because the corals (gonis especially) suck it right up

Green Killing Machine 24w, the Dino’s are Ostreopsis which are the type to go into the water column!

Yep! Not doing any water changes currently, gonna keep the tank a little dirty. Once I have resolved the Dino issue I’ll work on addressing the missing elements from my ICP test.

I dose 2.5ml daily of manganese and my last ATi test showed undetectable

Also how long have some of your corals been unhappy? I may have missed that in the original post

About a week before I made the post! Hopefully on the other side of it now

Woo woo!!! Full extension and a cleaner sand bed!

Still maintaining solid nutrient levels, 20 Nitrate and .11 Phosphate, I have also restored my full lighting schedule, and will slowly ween on UV while dosing bacteria.
