I could use some advice on dosing the Red Sea Trace Colors with kalkwasser in the ATO, and a problem that I noticed as soon as I started dosing Trace colors. On several of my SPS corals I noticed that the edges started to lose a bit of the fluorescence to it, not like bleaching and not exactly like the typical lightness of growth. I’ll post a couple pics as well.

Red Sea tests last done and calculated on Apex Neptune
Calcium average: 490
Alkalinity: 11.69

separate brand tests on phosphate and nitrate show low numbers, not dangerously low. My LFS said “these numbers are great”
