Hey guys sorry for the bad pics, but when I got these sps the colors were ok, but they started to fade out pretty quickly and lost PE. Since then I upped my nitrate to 5-10 and phosphate to .1-.2. They have been slowly encrusting and getting some color/PE back but they still don’t look great. Alk 9 calcium 415 mag 1500. 2 kessil a150 and 4 t5 bulbs 75 gallon tank
