Hey guys,
I am having a weird issue right now. I recently got a new colony and I have noticed that all seem to have decent PE, but my back colony turned brown. The rest have colored up / kept nice color. I have all different types of sps in the tank and all seem to be doing well along with a mix of lps and paly/zoas.
The only thing I can think of is that he is not directly under the lights like the others, but is at the top of the tank. Been in the tank for 1.5 weeks.
Parameters: 24G Aquapod - Setup for 3ish weeks. 165watt Chinese led 12" off water. Blues @60% and Whites @25%
Alk: 8.5-9
Calc: 440
Mag: 1340
NitrAte: 0-5 (can't tell)
PHos: 0-0.25 (can't Tell)

I thought I had a better pic of the brown one but I don't. Will get one later. You can see it right in the middle in the back. I am also thinking my flow is to direct with the RW-8. It is on the lowest setting, but pulses right across the sps.
