New sps tank

[chrisevich]

Hey, thanks for all the support and help.

Here is a bit update.

Currently all the coral have recovered and show quick growth and great PE. But currently, I noted the color is getting pale.

My po4 is 0.00 by Hanna, NO3 0-0.2 salifert, and K is around 380 they rest parameters r stable.

My currently dose is:
Xtra special 2ml/ day
Cv 4 drops/ day
SP 4 drops/ day
Start3 0.4*2/day
Zeobak 4 drops every other day
AA twice a week.
PIF 4 drops every other day.
I have followed this plan for couple weeks but no improvement.
Do u need I should try different coral food to feed them? My bioload is quite low.

I will update some pics soon.
Thanks again for all support and help

Currently I don't have blue T5. Still waiting for the shippment. So I use t5*6(4 new generation+2 fijipurple )+two radion 15pro. You can see the smaller SSC is very pale but has great PE

First thing I would try are two water changes each 15 within a week to refresh elements in a balanced way. This should usually improve the coloration.

hey guys.

A bit update. Finally, I have seen some success.

Currently some sps have really nice color. But I feel there is still a space for improvement.

Also, the growth rate seems slow at the momen because I haven't dosed any CA and the level of ca is always enought. PE is great.

Tank is about 1.5 years, all parameters r stable and fine.

Currently I only dose as:
Zeobak 4 drops every two days
Start3 0.8ml twice a day
SP 4 drops daily
pIF 4 drops every three day.
Coral snow, occasionally

Any suggestion will be appreciated. Really grateful for ur guys' help

That is a great improvement since the last pictures. From the pictures I would say corals tissue could be a little bit lighter, is that what you like to improve ?

Can you please also post the actual PO4 and NO3 levels ? Are corals growing well ?

Hey, yeah, i would like to light the color a bit.

the growth rate is slow to be honest, but they seem happy and healthy.

Po4 is about 0 (hanna, but i have heard it cant measure below 0.03)
No3 is 1-2. (I heavily fed the tank for a while to increase No3 a bit. i noted the better coloration when No3 is a bit high)

thanks for your help ;D

I would try B-Balance, you can dose 1 ml / 100 liters every other day for 10 days, than this quantity 2 – 3 x weekly.
