hello all! I have recently gotten into the SPS world and I have some questions. My sps grow great, but they have lost color over the weeks ive had them. I feed Reef Chili twice a week and my fish are fed three days a week. below are my parameters:
Salinity: 1.023
Kh: 12
PH: 8.1
Cal: 430
Mag:1300
Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia: 0 ppm
Temp: 75-76
Lighting:
Radions Xr30w gen4
running reef lab ABS program at 50% for 12 hours and deep blues at night for 4 hours
I used to run Shallow reef at 70% for 12 hours, but I think I was blasting them with light so I changed this about a week ago.
Flow:
Return pump (close to 150 GPH I think. I can find out if this is important for you to know)
Filtration:
400 micron filter sock changed once a week
Bubble Magnus protein skimmer running 24/7
various filters in-between skimmer and pump
I have great PE at night an slightly less during the day. of you have any suggestions please let me know. thanks in advance!
