[QUOTE="Crustaceon, post: 8471429, member: 117250"] I’m getting the sense that maybe your nitrates are too high for your system at this stage and while it’s a good number for lps and softies, sps of that size might not enjoy it as much, hence the color change (potential sign of stress). Every tank is a little different and that “sweet spot” might be 5ppm nitrates and .05ppm phosphates. And since you actively feed your corals, I’d be less concerned with maintained elevated N&P anyways. It’s worth a try and isn’t radically changing tank chemistry. Give it a week or two and see if you notice any new growth. [/QUOTE]
