Corals looking shriveled up

[OGKro]

I've had my aquarium running for a month and a half. I've got a bacterial bloom but i've added carbon yesterday and it shall clear up in the next days. The problem is my corals aren't looking great. I've had them in my previous nano and they were fine, but since i've transfered they haven't been happy at all.

My parameters are the following:

NH3 = 0
Nitrite = 0
NO3 = 2.5 (i'm dosing nitrate to increase it)
PO4 = reading 0 but i'm dosing po4
CA = 450
MG= 1350
KH = 7.9
Salinity = 1.026
Temp = 24,4 Celsius

Flow:
Reefwave 25, Random pattern set to 60%
Blue marine wavemaker 3000

Lights:
2 ReefLED 90 running at 60% blue and 15% white. From 12 noon to 11 pm

Skimmer Octo Elite 220-INT, fully opened because bacterial bloom
Filter sock and carbon

4 fish: Pair of clowns, Scopas tang, Ctenochaetus Trincatus

what are you using to test? may need to test with something else and compare results to rule out if the reagents are bad.

corals are likely not doing that great because they were switched to another tank. new environment/biodiversity. are the lights different? could also be the lights are too strong/weak

Your bottomed out nutrients means they are starving to death. I would also guess insufficient lighting. What is your tank par?

I'm using salifert and they are in line with the spin tester at my lfs. So yeah its probably the switch from tank to tank.

I switched from reefled 50w to 2x reefled 90w but i'm running them at 60% blue compared to 80% blue in the last tank.

My nitrates and phosphates are higher now. I'm increasing lighting over time. I'm gonna go to 70% next week. Unfortunately i do not have access to a par meter :/

You can use the free photone app with your phone to check par. It's pretty accurate. I compared its results with a par meter. Some people even put their phones in ziploc bags to check under water but I only held my phone at the water surface 8 inches below my lights.
