So I’m gonna show you pictures of my gsp when I first got in March last year vs now..my tank has been doing things parameters have been wacky all my coral are fading in color supposedly my nitrates were very high at 50 and phosphate was .33 but everything else was fine. Currently I can’t trust my api year kit so I’m waiting to get a new one before I give parameters. It was bright green and hairy now it’s short and dull.

how my flow do you have on it? Mine loves a lot of flow. I have some on the side of my tank that gets a little flow and it is about half of what is on my higher flow/ in direct sight of my of power head side.

Its got strong flow I thought it was a light issue since it’s dull n lost color so I recently locked it up and it’s opened up but the coloring is dull and it doesn’t even look the same like before

Could be a million things. Hard to know without your parameters and what light your using. Are you using RODI water at least ? Salinity at 1.025?

Rodi yes salinity I’ve always had it at 1.023-4. And for the light I’ve always had the current ic loop. It’s been 2years

I see. Most likely the light would explain the dull colors. The dying I’m not sure about, do you do water changes?
