New tank, brown faze

[mbedak]

Hello everyone from Croatia,
I have just ended cycling my 120x60x60 cm tank,
and my LFS told me it’s time to ramp up my lights and maybe add a few starting corals, which all makes sense to me because how am I supposed to mature the tank if I run my lights at 10% forever. Anyho my corals look great (Duncan and Sinularia), but I am starting to go into the brown faze, do you have any suggestions? I’ve watched all the BRS materials and i suppose it’s best to just leave it so? Lights are 2xHydra 32 run at cca 50% pennywise settings. I have 1 fish, a scopas
which I got as a gift. He is also great.
Got my Hanna today, phos at 0.02, KH 7.6, Mg 1350, ca 420 and NO3 at 25.Filtrationwise, I have a Maxspect SK 400 skimmer, a Thieling roller filter and an algae reactor on the way. Running GFO and Carbon ATM. Thank you and happy reefing

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with your numbers. Just get yourself some more snails and maybe pods if they aren't already reproducing in your system. Though you may not need to run GFO at this point to be honest...
