Hello I have a 30 gallon Nuvo reef tank with a mixed reef I'm loosing color in my corals or seem to be fading I was told to check a number of things including phosphates, lighting, I'm currently using echotech radions pro 3rd gen and have them at 35% brightness not intensity...is there a difference if so what is it? Anyways my parameters are as follow
Ca 440
Mg 1350
Alk 9.4
Ph 8.2
Salinity 1.025
Temp 78 degrees
Phosphate 1.0
Nitrate 10.0
Ammonia 0
I do weekly water changes 5 gallons every Sunday
I'm running 2 desktop innovative marine protein skimmers in the back chambers ( I have a all in one system ) I'm using a 60 gallon chemipure elite bag in one of the chambers and I'm also using a media reactor with 2 spoonful of rox0.8 and 1 spoonful of gfo
I'm currently trying to use "replenish" by brightwwell it's a essential elements and minor elements to try and restore color
So my question is why am I loosing color in my corals they seem to fading color about 1-2 weeks after I get them what am I doing wrong
