Hey guys, I’ve been around a while but not really ever posted.
So some of my SPS are loosing color a couple are growing pretty fast.
tank Water box 25 peninsula, 6 weeks old, Seeded from my mixed identical tank.
I seem to have good growth on nubs that I positioned on rock work.
The green cap and green tip stick are 6 mo, All the others are about 6 new to me.
i don’t have a par meter so idk if they get enough light, if that’s the case.
no3 5ppm PO4 .03
mag 1440
kh 8.5
ca 450
dose basic 3 and zvit 4 part.
Thanks!

Add a little white as they need it to produce zooxanthelllae which provides its color and growth. If you are not already , also add aminos such as Pohls Korallen Zucht amino and coral booster, and my favorite- Seachem Fuel.
-double check these values below in your tank:

Temp 77-79
ph 8.1-8.3
salinity 1.025
nitrate < .5
phos < .04
Ammonia < .03
mG 1300
Alk 8-10
CA 440

Also stop the zeovit for 2 weeks as it is intended for low nutrient systems and may be robbing your coral of such
