Where’s my chalice folks?
I bought this “rainbow” chalice and this is all I can get out of it. Lower flow and bottom former of the tank in lower light.
Any suggestions to make this thing color up?

has it lost color since you introduced it? Tank paramaters?
Ya there was definitely some greens that faded.
I run mostly SPS so .05 on Phosphates and about 3 on nitrates.
Possibly could be due to the lower nutrient system?

I have 2 rainbow chalice corals that sit about 3" above the sand and run even less phosphate and about the same nitrate and see no loss of color. they are slow growing in my system. I am performing weekly 10% water changes with tropic marin pro.
