Hey guys, I have a very established biocube it's about 2 years old so naturally I expanded to a red sea max 250. Both tanks are being dosed with all for reef and nopox as needed. RMS currently gets about 4 mls daily of nopox to control po4

The tank has been up running for 8 months. I have been moving coral from the biocube to the rsm as it grows. I moved a couple heads of my very established frogspawn and for the last month or so it's looked like this. Here are my red sea water params (I know mag and nitrate are low) I dosed some of the spectracide stump remover for nitrates and ordered some mag. My light schedule is also attached. It is a retro fit Steve's LEDs system. My sps is growing good in my biocube but the pieces I moved over to the rsm are browning out it seems and not very happy. I guess my question is aside from the mag and nitrate does everything look ok and would those two params make the frog spawn look like this. Biocube attached just for reference. (Yes the yellow Tang has been moved to the rsm)

I just worry about feeding more pushing po4 up. What food grade one would you recommend

Loudwolf is a good brand, but any food grade should be ok.

Alk is way high for your nutrients.
Mag is low.
Either get no3 up to >10 or 5ish with an alk more around 8ish.
IMO.
