Hi,
I have had a fish only tank for 17 years and have decided to convert it to a reef tank. It has been 1.5 years since I started this conversion process. I have three corals: GSP, mushrooms and rasta zoas. GSP is doing well but mushrooms and zoas do not grow. They were growing very well for the first couple of months, but have not been growing at all for the last few months.
I am looking for any advice on what to check to identify and fix the problem.

Information about my tank, equipment , live stock, parametrs, ATI results can be found in my Build Thread.

Any advise is highly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Update on my investigation.
I had an expert from LFS come over and look at my aquarium. He performed multiple tests, and the only problem he found was a low phosphate level.
I selected Zoas, Mushroom, and Duncan because they are great beginner corals. Apparently, they are considered good beginner corals because they are tolerant of less-than-ideal parameters, and my tank was "too clean" for them.
I started dosing Brightwell Aquatics NeoPhos to fix this problem. I will update on the progress.
