We do 10% weekly changes anyway. Do you have a recommendation for the intensity on the gen 4’s?I would remove rowaphos, do weekly 10% water changes and check PAR level. Gen 4’s are pretty strong.

No. I still use kessils and T5’s and never have used Gen 4’s. But they can put out lots of light. For LPS in general, they don’t need much light. Most of mine are on the bottom and some are shaded getting 50-150 PAR. But some nutrients are desired that’s why I recommended rowaphos removal.We do 10% weekly changes anyway.

Okay thank you. I’ll take it out and check the light settings. Thank youNo. I still use kessils and T5’s and never have used Gen 4’s. But they can put out lots of light.

I have been reefing over 25 years. Most of the problems I have had is during the 1 year I tried to run low nutrients.

Okay thank you. We’ll take the RowaPhos out the tank and give that a go. Hopefully we’ll see some improvements before it’s too lateI concur. I guessed that the OP must be using some form of PO4 adsorber after seeing the PO4 test result. I suspect that NO3 levels are also low given the small fish population.
@Han_And I would stop using GFO. If you have algae bed, then that should take care of PO4 and NO3. Your corals will look healthier if PO4 rises above 0.046 mg/L.

Thank youI have edited my post since you quoted it and suggested a slightly different strategy to deal with nutrients.
I would try raising phosphates til atleast 0.03. My lps seem to do the best around 0.03-0.08NO3 2ppm, PO4 01ppm, No changes to lighting.
Had the coral for almost a year now.
I would check par most lps prefer around 100-200 and radions can easily put out 800+. So checking with a par meter is really important when running high power ledsSome are close to a year others only a month or so.
we changed our lights from the kessil A360’s to the radion xr30 pro’s gen 4. We changed them about 6 months ago or so
nitrates were about 10 so on the lower side
I'd like to know why they do it, as mine have started bailing heads.Have a similar problem with a hammer - heads just keep dying off and don't know whey. Parameters stable and no changes to system.
