My parameters are perfect, but I do run my light a bit longer than that. I’ll feed every second day and see what happensDepends, what are your parameters? Might just be a nutrient issue. But yes vacumming the sand bed is always a good idea.
Reducing your photo period and nutrient input will help alot as well. Could feed every other day.
For reference I have alot of corals and run my light at 25watts for only 5 hours.
