So about two weeks ago you might of seen that I had a little tank problem where my Alk dropped to about 6.4

I didnt lose any of my chalices but they did lose some of their color.

now they are looking back to normal except that some of them have lost a little of there color.

does anyone have any suggestion on how to make sure they get there color back nice and bright?

ill be doing a water change at least once a week for the next month

thanks!
 
I'd keep doing what your doing and give it time. Stay on top of the alk and try to lock it in to a solid number. Good luck with the recovery.
 
Ok cool and thanks!

Ya I figured there wasn't much I could do but just wasn't sure if I was missing anything
 
just keep your parameters stable,a little patience...and im sure in no time their colors will come back...dont get disappointed for now if color isn't there..they will color up :)been there and trust me as long as everything is stable...lights water chemistry...it will be back to its original color
