Meteor shower cyph new growth on the plug is brown this normal also changed from bluish to green any ideas

Rainbow monti browned totally and now slowly dying is there a fix?

Zoas not doing as well as before

All this began occuring after my move to a bigger tank that took 3 days or so and had high alk for a few days but has been corrected

All levels are fine
Ph 8.2
Temp 77
Cal 460
Mag 1400
Alk dkh 11
Very little phos
No nitrate
No kind of reactors
got a small bag of carbon and ohosguard in sump use zoo and phyto per directions also use reef roids and reef chilli alternate every other day

My guess is water is too clean need to add nutrients? I would dose some bacteria such as startsmart complete and feed a little more or throw in a fish or two. Maybe it went through mini cycle due to new tank smartstart should fix that.

Seeing your rock work in the meteor shower pic looks like you plenty of nutes. Low nutes in my experience are rarely the problem. Usually too much is the most common issue if not on a zeo program or carbon source. Keep things steady. Keep up on water changes. Most likely just stressed from alk spike. Sps take a long time to recover and need consistency. Spikes of any kind tend to tick them off.

alk seems pretty high i keep mine at 7.7, how did you test your phosphates, usually when things turn darker or brown it's a access of nutrients.

+1 on dkh too high. 7-9 is more ideal.

Either high your nutrient or specifically the nitrate (2-5ppm) or lower your dkH to 8-9. Lower nutrient correlates good with lower dkH and higher nutrient goes well with higher dkH (10-12). Which kit you use for phosphate?
