Hello all,

I received some corals about a week ago and I just want to make sure that these corals are growing and not burning from the lights I have on the tank. All my other parameters seem fine after testing yesterday. Dosing 26ml of All For Reef at 0700 when light comes on. Parameters hold steady using Apex with Trident for monitoring. Digitatas , blue Stylo, and Favia pictured. Everything else clam, chalices, Zoas in the tank are showing good colors and open.

PH 8
Alk 9
Cal 480
Mag 1380
No3 11
PO4 .03

Lights on a 12 hour cycle

Aquatic life hybrid dimmable T5 running ATI blue plus and purple plus.

Lights ramp up to 80% then hold for 5 hours then ramp down off

3 Nicrew 150w
Blues ramp up to 20% then ramp down hold just blue after the T5 turns off until lights out

If you turn up the white channel for pictures it really helps.

The only one that looks suspect is the last photo but it also looks bi color lol
yeah sorry about that i them them before i left the house this morning. The las tis is the WWC Contraband Grafted monti. I just didn't think I would see growth in a week, that's why i leaned to lighting.

I was able to use the WWC coral sunglasses to take some pictures, not the best but let me know if this helps.
