Im wondering if its lighting or a possible parameter issuse but my zoas colors
seem to be changing. Like the eagle eyes have more green than others and the orange ones look like the are mixing with brown. Any input about this?

I got to frag swaps and they all have perfect color uniformity. I feel like my zoas just melt into different colors

Ive been dosing Red Sea Reef Nutrition Reef Energy A and B for a few weeks now and have noticed a lot of improvement in the coloration of my Z&Ps, along with most all of my corals also. Its a combo of amino acids, carbohydrates, and vitamins from what the label says. Probably along the same line of the AF product mentioned before.

Secondly some impellers had rusted in my system as well and had impacted my coloration as well. This basically what led me to looking into ATI water testing, I was thinking it was a trace element scenario causing the lack of color and found the metals to be extremely high.

I added a small bag of chemipure elite and 2 weeks later everything returned to normal perfect colors [emoji3] thanks!
