My 10 gallon tank is about 6 months old. 2 months ago I added my first Zoas and then added additional Zoas about two weeks later, so these have been in this spot for about 6 weeks. One frag plug is questionable - I’m not sure they’re even alive. The others seem to be growing but are “stretching” and seem to have dulled in color since I’ve had them.
Shortly after I set them all up on the rock, I fed them reef roids (twice in a week and a half) however I had such a high phosphate spike in the tank after that that I haven’t feed them since. I have a coralife LED light that I keep on 100% only blue for about 15 hours a day. (This is the light: https://a.co/d/4zzzUeL)
Current tank parameters:
Alk 8.7
Cal 450
Magnesium 1240
Nitrate 4.6
Phosphate .14
PH 8.2
Salinity 1.026
Temp 80.0
I have some leathers and some LPS coral that all seem happy and thriving. Just wondering what I can do to help my Zoas pop and maybe seem healthier? Photos below. Some under white light and some under blue light with a yellow lens filter.
Thanks for any advice!
