Could you take a closer pic of the corals that have turned white? Most of the time that has to do with bleaching but a close up picture would help alot.

all green sps coral white-green now. red coral is pink. lpss coralless
i dont know nitrate phosphate. but i use live sant and over capacity protein skimmer. and 0 tds water.

MaKe the same light levels peak at 75% it’s too intense right now, feed them directly and don’t increase light levels for about a month.

thanks for the answer. the light is at a height of 40 cm. do u think the light is too much?

 

[brandon429]

Yes 100% is too much bring intensity down 30% or so

 

[cagribayram]

Doesn't 30% level kill sps?

 

[brandon429]

You’re bringing 100% levels down to 70-75% it won’t harm

i tested nitrate 0 phosphate 0 ca 385 kh 8

this is most likely problem,bottomed out phos,nitrates,cal is also little low..bring back slowly..
