How are those Calcium and Alkalinity levels? In regards to the color loss; possibly too much or not enough light. Where do you have it placed and have you tried moving it to different areas yet?
they are low, 375 cal, my phosphates look 0 to 0.03 (had to fix typo), hard to water so clear looking, and alk was 6.5, Should i start dosing with part b of the reef code

the alk test it seems to never get a real color, so i am not sure if i just suck at it or the test is tough to do.

Beside the two bt that closed up few weeks ago, most of the stuff look happy. My frogspawn and torches look great.
and the one bt is nice open

Lets work on (SLOWLY) getting your Cal into the 400-420 range and your Alk into the 8.1-8.9 range! Reef Code A for Cal, Reef Code B for Alk. The ideal range for phosphates is 0.01-0.03, but if you're reading 0 that would definitely be a concern - you want a little PO4 or else you're going to develop Dinos. Try feeding your fish and/or coral just a smidge more!

What test kits are you using? They can be tricky!

salifet for all, but the khl, which is the red sea. I been looking at the hanna for the alk,
I should do 10ml of the code b also now. I know before we were holding off to see how the cal was doing. And i know i should wait few minutes between dosage. I many need to get a dosaging set up soon.

It sounds like a dosing pump might not be a bad idea at this point! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
