Asking for advice about dull colored coral.

[aumwantanai]

hello
My tank is 3 months old.
I would like to ask for advice on how to fix coral that has a dull color.
My tank has a capacity of 25 gallons of water.
And I apologize if my English is not good.

parameter
Ph - 7.9 (Apex)
No3- 2.7 (Hanna)
Po4- 0.13 (Hanna)
Ca - 430 (Salifert)
Mg - 1320 (Salifert)
Kh - 8.3 (Salifert)
K - 380 (Salifert)
Temperature - 25-25.5 (Apex)
Salinity - 35

I wouldn’t consider that dull. But color pop is always a light factor unless corals are unhealthy. You could try increasing your nitrates as well.

Thank you for your advice.
I'll try adding nitrates.

 

[encrustingacro]

You shouldn't really worry about color as long as all your corals are healthy. Most corals in the wild are dull anyways.

คุณไม่ควรต้องกังวลเรื่องสีสันมากนักตราบใดที่ปะการังของคุณมีสุขภาพดี ปะการังส่วนใหญ่ในธรรมชาติมีสีหมองคล้ำอยู่แล้ว

Thank you very much for helping guide me.

Magnesium helps with chlorophyll growth which I believe is what causes the colours. At 1320 that’s relatively low, I would increase that to 1400-1450 personally. Also, increasing blue lighting can give a colour pop.
Here’s some of the colours I’ve gotten with higher magnesium and higher PAR;

Most of the above coral are in 3-400 PAR from memory. However for your tank, you only really need around 350 PAR maximum, the lowest I would go is around 80 in your system.

The only reason mine is going all the way to 400 is because I’ve got clams and I would rather not risk them through giving my LPS lower light. Plus, all my coral is nicely acclimated to it now.

Oh!

Your coral is really colorful.

Adding Mg, I'll have to think again about this.

Because if I increase the dose of Mg

When changing the water, Mg may come out suddenly.

According to the value of Redsea salt

Or maybe I'll find a new salt. that has more Mg value


Thank you very much for helping guide me.

Tank will appear duller if ambient room lighting is bright

Did the corals start bright and become dull? Or is this normal and you wish for better?

Save your light schedule do you can return to it if you wish and try the salty pops schedule. I just switched to it and like it. I think the higher blues and whites will help your tank look brighter

ถังจะดูหมองลงหากแสงโดยรอบห้องสว่าง

ปะการังเริ่มมีสีสดใสและหมองลงหรือเปล่า? หรือว่าเป็นเรื่องปกติและคุณอยากให้มันดีขึ้น?

บันทึกตารางแสงของคุณไว้ คุณสามารถกลับมาใช้ตารางนั้นได้หากต้องการ และลองใช้ตาราง Salty Pops ฉันเพิ่งเปลี่ยนมาใช้ตารางนั้นและชอบมัน ฉันคิดว่าสีน้ำเงินและสีขาวที่เข้มขึ้นจะช่วยให้ตู้ปลาของคุณดูสว่างขึ้น

ใช่แล้ว ห้องของฉันสว่าง ฉันเลี้ยงพวกมันในร้านของฉัน
แสงสีฟ้าของฉันอาจจะต่ำเกินไป
ฉันจะลองดาวน์โหลดไฟล์เช่นของคุณและใช้งานมัน

ขอบคุณมากสำหรับการช่วยแนะนำผม

That's right, my room is bright. I raise them in my shop.
My blue light may be too low.
I'll try downloading a file like yours and using it.

Thank you very much for helping guide me.

Have you considered switching to a different lighting schedule on that ai prime. Try out the Tony rogers setting. I think it makes the colors pop a bit better.

I'm going to go find it and try to change it.
Thank you for the recommendation.

Video does tell you how to manually set the program. There is essentially 2 light modes

Ramp up 1 hour to A
This is morning and heavy blue and color pop

Switch to B
This is afternoon and heavy white and spectrum for growth

Switch back to A
This is evening and color pop

Ramp down to dark

I program manually from instructions in video and it was very easy and I do like the brightness and colors better than my previous settings

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

Dull coral is often caused by low light or high nutrients. Your nutrients look fine, so I suspect your light it low. Try turning it up.

I'll try to follow you. And thank you for your help all the time.

I'll try turning the brightness up to over 100% first. May wait for results for 1 week. If it doesn't get better, maybe add No3. Thank you for helping guide me.
