Unhappy SPS (New Pics Added)

Will Spencer wrote: I don't know what your dosing regimen is like, but at Tuesday's meeting our speak, Aviad, from Red Sea talked about how important trace elements are.  Of course he suggested use of the Red Sea Testing and dosing line of products since he designed them, but he also said any well know brand should have a good trace element additive.  He likes his plan because it is set up so that when you add X amount of Calcium you add X/10 amount of the trace element to keep everything properly balance. Just a thought.

Another benefit of regular water changes, in my opinion.

Thanks Chad, It's been a while.

 I have some LPSs that are close to some of my SPSs.  I have seen my SPSs got stung from time to time but it an ongoing problem with a small tank with overgrown corals.  I don't see any color differentiation in the past until recently.  That rose anemone is a wanderer; it stays in that spot for a few days now.

 I'm using seachem products to dose my Alk, Cal, and Mag right now but will switch over to BRS when I'm out.  I also dose Fuel and Iodine once a week but only haft the suggested amount. 

 Every other week with water changes.

 Thanks

You acclimated your coral to the new lights for a whole hour? Am I understanding that statement correctly? How is that even done? This is generally done over a couple weeks time. Keep a close eye on things. Watch for any signs of bleaching. Pics look great!

Agreed: Nothing ever good is accomplished fast to theses systems. Tank looks fantastic.

Yes, you're right. I'll slow down the acclimation process and watch for signs of bleaching.
Thank you,

Beautiful tank Duy!

Here you go.  Have some issues with calcium in the past month.  Things are under control now.  The SPS are much happier but still need time to color up to it potential.
