I'm new to the reef. So I'm still learning. I have not start dosing yet. So my Calcium Alk Meg are all below the level. I do have a dosing plump and 2 part from BRS ready. But just don't have time to set it up. Hope everything goes well after everything is in level.
 
My SPS coral lose color? What should I do?

if they are browning. too much nutrient and too little light.

if they are paling too little nutrient and too much light.

i dont personally attribute color to the big 3. (alk, calcium, mag)

my .02
 
Also just because your not dosing dose not mean your levels are below normal. In almost 5 years of having some sps but mostly lps. This is the first year I have had to start dosing.
