here is a picture of a couple Acans I just noticed the colo changing today
My water parameters are
SALINITY: 1.026
Temp: 77.7
PH: 8.2
KDH:10.8
AKALINITY: 12
AMMONIA:0
NITRITE: 0.00
NITRATE: 1
CALCIUM: 450
MAGNESIUM: 1280
PHOSPHATE: 1.0

I use Red Sea test Kits and Red Sea Coral Salt
I have been adding Red Sea energy A & B 6ML EA
plus Seachem Fusion 1&2 8 ML every three to four days
Is this too much
Thanks

First thing that I notice is that you have an alkalinity of 12. Considering that you have low nutrients, your Alk is probably too high. You may want it at 8 or lower.
The rest of your parameters look ok.
 
Thanks the Red Sea Coral pro is 11 or 12 so I should for now cut out the fusion then and see what happens
Not that I have a lot of corals maybe 8 of the Acans
