Dosing oump crashed while on vacation

[Mterry9239]

So while I was on vacation my dosing pump decided to knock off. I was gone 12 days and who knows how long it was down but EVERYTHING was wayyy down so I would say it was atleast a week. My ALK was at 4.3 CAL at 313. I have since ordered and fixed the dosing pump problem. But during that time it faded my colors tremendously on my coral. I am wondering how long, with stable conditions back, will ot take for them to color back up and is there something I can do to boost this process. It's saddening to look at Thanks for any input in advance.

It's was a cheapo, Hygger 4 head. I think I learned my valuable lesson as the 2 things I cut corners on were the dosing pump and return pump at the start of my build. Got a year out of them and both have been replaced now. Got a Current USA 1900 gph return pump and just installed a Red Sea 4.1 dosing pump!
