How long does it take....

For corals to really start taking off in your tank. I have a 75 with an Sb reef light my parameters are as follow using api

Nitrates 0
Phos 0
Ca 460 - 480
Alk 8 - 9

I do have some hair algae that is annoying but not too too bad.

I have zoas leathers and some sps. All are maintaining and open with nice color but they have not grown at all for about 4 months. The tank is about 9 months old. Just wondering if something is off here or the tank is just too young.

Thanks

What do you have your lights set to? How often do you do water changes and do you use ro/di water?

Lights are set pretty low now as I recently switched over to the Sb reefs whites around 10% blues around 30%. I do a 10 gal water change weekly with reef crystals using rodi that measures 0tds
