You are going to get a lot more questions, so here are some additional pieces of info that will help.

Actual phosphate and nitrate levels
Anything you dose

Attached the lighting schedule for my radions

Phosphate and nitrate reading 0, I don't know if I believe that so to cyano and algae popping up in the tank.

Sump, is just bio blocks, octo skimmer rated for 500 gallon tank. And just the filter socks.

Dose reef energy, reef colours, reefroids, phytoplancton, and zoo plankton

Pictures, I don't have the orange lenses for the blue take away

Do you have pictures of before and after? Any changes in the tank recently or Alk swings?

How long has the tank set been set up and how long have you had the said green corals?

Tank has been set up for about 8 months, it is an upgrade though, so all rocks and water were used from the old tank, water was swapped with the old tank to cycle and balance it. I have had a few for a year or so and had some for only 3 months, it's weird not all corals are losing colour. I will try and find some old pictures of corals, they will be in blue light as I have no orange filter, don't know where to buy them or what they are called lol

Hard to tell but here is my green slime, a nice dark green then here it is now, a lighter green, the other is a pink Cadillac that is now more of a white Cadillac

RR bleeding avenger, when I first got it till now, way brighter green. The biggest one I am worried about is my RR jaw dropper.

Just picked up a JF homewrecker today. So you can see the trend I am assuming lol, about 10 grand in coral and want them to look pretty

Growth on all corals is outstanding though
