After getting rid of turf algae and hair algae with vibrant my lps look worse than ever. Chalice frags receding. Torch not opening as much. Acan look like toast. Guess I lowered phos and nitrates too fast. Phos at .03 or less and nitrates around 20. Both were much higher before. Pulled phosguard and purigen a week ago. Trying to raise nutrients a bit and do small weekly water changes. So frustrating
 
Yeah, stability is key so they don’t like big changes. Most LPS will bounce back ice they’re in a stable environment again.
