HI guys I am new to this forum. I have a new setup it has been running for about 4 month's now. I built it for SPS only it is a 40 breeder with 60 more gallons be hind the scenes. I have 90x flow Ati 6 bulb sunpower and an over-sized skimmer. The problem I am having is the growth and color or the acros and monti that I have had in there for a mont or so they look pale. I added some acro frags and they have good color still but they have only been in there a week.
I only have two fish and a clown in the tank.
Parameters
Salinity 1.025
Nitrate o
Phospahate 0
Alk 10.5
Calcium 500
I use a 5 stage rodi system. I also have a settling tank, this is a new concept but what it does is catch any large detritus that leaves the main display, if you look in my sump- there is zero detritus. I change the water 15% every 2 weeks. The lights are on for 9hrs. I don't dose anything, so my question is what is the best route do I add fish, feed coral if so what? or am I missing something all together? Here are some photos. All help will be appreciated!
