Hello so I got a few LPS frags and from the first day i have placed them at the bottom of my tank. Candy canes still adaptibg from what I know. Frogspown opened up from the first day but have some brownish tentacles and recently the torch opened up. Hammer is doing fine but not extended much. I have current usa ic led lights the tank is 100cm long 60cm wide and 60cm tall the distance between lught and corals is appriximately 70cm. below are the photos of my corals just wanted to ask of they are doing fine and id my placements are fine or not?

Your advise is highly appreciated.

They look good and your frogspawn looks bleached

What should I do it was like that when I got it.
Flow will also play a factor. I use the same lights
There is less flow at the bottom I recently removed a wavemaker as it was too much for the tank. They were closing. If you have the same lights how far are they fron your light and how are they doing?

I have the dual IC pros. I run 100% blue and I think 50% white. My hammers are towards the bottom and my torches are higher up.

Not sure about measurements of how far from the light. Tank is all LPS and they are all happy. Tank is 18" tall. I also run an Orphek OR 120 UV bar for color. Don't think it adds much par but probably some.

My euphyllias are on the right side of the FTS

This is how they flow in the tank.
 
nitrate10, phosphate 0,ph 7.8, calcium 380, kh 107, dkh 6, salinity 1027

These are my parameters Im trying to raise the PH up to 8.2 so Im adding the following once every 2 days starting from today the deepocean.

I have jbl ph-plus but I dont know how to use it.

Don't chase the ph. Get your alk up and ph will follow.

Imo 6dkh is low and probably 0 po4 is low as well

My ph will be around 7.8 at night then climb to close to 8.1 during the day. Nothing wrong with 7.8 all day either
