My green corals colors suck!

Your alk is very high for 0 nitrates.

I dose red sea alk and kalkwasser to keep it up there 1850ml of saturated kalk and 15ml redsea alk every day

Try to maintain 10.5

10.5 with 0 nitrate, not good. Po4 0.1 okay.
Can you dose no3?

I've got some chaeto grow think that would help? Don't use it any more since I swapped to an algae scrubber

Trace element "coloration" is a marketing strategy and there really isn't much evidence to say some element makes X color (unless someone has found some). It is primarily caused by light color and intensity, as well as zooxanthellae density.

Dose aminos to raise nitrates and stop nopox. Your nopox is likely causing the phosphate to be high as the turf scrubber is limited by nitrogen.

Will do. Polypbooster good? That's the only aminos I've got on hand haven't used it in quite some time

in my new tank, I was starting to get a lot of gha (and byropsis) yet my no3 was 5-10. I got the hanna hr nitrate test and it was over 20. Might consider a better or more accurate test kit.

Use esv B-ionic nitrate to increase nitrates, without raising po4 with aminos or foods

Seems to be doing the trick appreciate the suggestion. Still read 0 nitrates so bumped up to 10ml/day. But the spots that were getting pale are starting to color back up already.
