Sps help

I'm having some trouble with my mixed reef tank. Some of my Sps are bleaching at the tips.(pink lemonade/pink mil/purple monti cup) the growth on the live rock and plugs are great but any new tips seem to bleach out. The only thing I see is my cal is 600 and alk is 10. Any suggestions? About the tank. 6 months old. Moved everything, live rock/ corals(-Sps) from old 90g corner that was running for 3 years.

New growth is usually white. Are you sure that it's bleaching? What kind of lighting do you have? To start, you should lower your calcium to about 420. Just don't dose for about 5 days. Your alk is fine at 10 as long as you aren't using any probiotic method. Do you have pics?

You'll definitely get a better response in the SPS keepers forum.
