Here is 9 months in my old 65. Most of these were fast growers though.

How could you!? LEDs!?

Thanks, I appreciate that. You know you have to work twice as hard when you’re disadvantaged by LEDs.

I run halide and T5 lighting and can't pull colors like that! Lol, your tank looks disadvantaged

Lol, just a jab at you know who.
I noticed just today that some corals were faded. Checked NO3, zero! I have to add Potassium Nitrate every now and then. Anything less than 2ppm and mine fade. I try to keep it around 8 or between 5 & 10ppm.

I noticed the same thing when nutrients get to low.
