I think you missed this post?

Subsequent photos show all the amazing colours, which are quite different to the first set of pictures.

That was quite astute observation imo!

Which amino acids and how much do you dose?

tank master · 02/01/2016, 10:21 PM

I have been trying a lot of stuff, acropower, fuel, mecorals, etc. I don't know which is the best, but they do help it seems in regaining colors.

tank master. How long are you running your T5's for. Just made the switch over from 2 gen3 pros and my sps are losing their color. I have a 6 bulb geisemann matrixx 2. Hung the light 8 inch above water to get the same par I was getting with the radion's. The par numerbers are 180-240 on my sps but that is where I was getting the color I liked when I ran the led's. Do you think I'm not giving them enough par or photoperid?

My current scheduel is:
2 blue+ 12hrs with ramp, 8hr at 100%
2 more blue+,coral+ and aqua blue special on for 6hrs 100%
Thanks

A+ You have really done an amazing job coloring up your corals. I love the look of these pieces in a well fed tank. If you have any no name pieces that look cool I would love to see them.
Is each tank a separate system or are they linked together? I as well would be very interested to see what your nitrates and phosphates actually read. Any chance you could test them and share?
I have just restocked after loosing everything I had and your pictures and colors really inspire me to get back on track. I had colonies from 8+ years ago which really hurt.... thanks for taking the time to photograph stuff. I am looking forward to seeing more pictures!

I run all my bulbs for about 5-8 hours depending on which tank and the reefbrites stay on for about 12 hours.
If anything I think your corals are getting to much light, when I move corals back and forth it seems that t5s lighten them up and radions darken them.
