It has been 5 days since my frags have opened. Started with the GSP I have Zoas, Pipe organ and mushrooms that are doing just fine. The gsp clover and a couple others I don’t remember what they are have been closed up. Below are images of what I have. New to the hobby any help would be greatly appreciated.

Water and water quality.
Take a look first at your salinity which may be off and then at your nitrate, phosphate, ph and ammonia levels.
if this is the amount of light you provide, add some white light intensity. They all do best under moderate light a water flow with occasional feedings.

Parameters are all within norm ph is a bit low and salinity is between 1.025 and .026. I have the ai prime reef lights what do you suggest for settings?

There is a lot of factors when it comes to lighting, tank depth, coral placement, height of your light above water that will affect your personal light settings. I saw an awesome video by BRS on light placement: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/vide...st-mounting-height-for-your-corals-reef-faqs/

I've been winging reefing for a little while but learning more about acclimation, especially light acclimation. I've been doing better with transitioning corals into my tank because of it.
