Dull Coral Color, Decent Parameters. Help?

kkgaskin90 · Apr 1, 2016

*DULL* Color... Can't edit title :/

75g mixed reef + 20g sump. Coral Box D700. Carbon dosing. Battling Hair Algae. Corals have been losing color for about 2 weeks now and I can't figure it out. Nothing has changed. Any ideas?

Cali Tort (had some STN during transport but is recovering)

How are you measuring phosphate?
Since the nutrients are seemingly low, corals may need more nutrition.

I might let the N and P (pending how it is being measured) rise a bit, or dose something like amino acids.

I'm using Salifert test kits
