I got this frag in july it browned out on me under the AI prime. I ordered the radion xr 30 G6 soon after, almost a month under the 350 par from the radion and the color exploded but I have yet to see good polyup extension. Should I be worried as long as I'm seeing growth and color?

Everything is controlled by an apex so I know I have the stability just wondering if too much flow or not enough flow could be the culprit or does it just need time from browning out.


My paramaters are
Ca 430
Alk 8.4
Mag 1380
Phosphate .05
Nitrate 5

It’s fine. Color is there. Just have to give it time. It’s so small yet. I think with time you may see polyps as it grows. If it’s coloring up that’s a good sign.
