Anyone out there had any problems with phoban browning out sps?

I hooked up the phos reactor on the frag setup a month or so ago. It's mostly zoa and palys but I do have some sps in there too. Over the past few weeks the some of the sps are starting to turn brown. They aren't dead, just ugly.

I test weekly and the parameters are just fine.

Any ideas?

How much phosban did you add? You should start out with less than half the recommended dose. It can have a big effect on your alk when using it.

I used less than half strenth. Also there has been little influence on alk.
