Hey Everyone
I have a 6m old [HASH=69258]#Deskmate[/HASH] 4.8g tank that i cant seem to get good coloration with SPS. Everything seems to be growing ok and decent PE. Please take a look at my regamine and let me know if you think anything off.
Problem:
SPS have dull pigmentation. Acro (3 weeks) is newest member and slowly moved to the top. It lost most of its green coloration. Top Monti (5months) is growing rapidly but lost the original brown coloration from day 1. Hulk Digi (2 months) growing rapidly but lost its bright coloration, same for birdsnest
Other related or non-related problems:
Frogspawn is not extending as much as when i got it. But is splitting heads.
2 of the 3 Zoa frags are not producing new polyps or are extremely slow.
