Help us to help you.

Can you post a pick of the tank, the coral and what your parameters are?

Your “good” and others good can be vastly different.

Nitrates 0 phosphate. 04 calcium 480 stro,mag, all good

Can you post with white lights

No not all good. Nitrates 0 bad and can you retest phosphates? 0 nitrates means your starving the Zooxanthellae

Zero is a bad number for nitrates. May triggered more pest algaes.

5-15ppm nitrate and stable is what you should target.

Not sure on how to get my lights to just white but I just got back last week and with the holidays it's been hard to get anything done. I just checked my phosphates and still zero and my nitrates are zero don't know why because I have been adding neophos daily 5ml and feeding my fish a lot sorry it took so long to get back to you. Should I turn off my protein skimmer to raise my numbers or any other suggestions. Thanks Lou and merry Christmas and happy new year
