Whay color is it? Hard to see. What kind of light was it under at reefwise and what light do u have? Do you know the PAR at its location? Hows your water parameters?

Too many variables to make any assumptions . Best to have a know basic birds nest or cheap stag as a base line.

My alk was really low. My alk was 5 and there wasn't much flow in it before. I raiseed my alk back up to 8 so I'm hoping it comes back to color. Tips used to be a real nice green
Now they look burnt.. Reef wise has radion at 100 percent intensity. I'm running mine at 65.but I'm using g3 pro. They are using g2

your tank looks young, just by looking at your rocks (no coraline). that might also be why. did you try some cheap frags first to see if your tank is ready for SPS?

It is young, most my frags are ok... but most my frags show nice color on the top branch that is horizontal to the light... A couple Acros have lost color though, I'm not sure if it's from not enough or too much... They are about half way down my tank... 20" down from the light, above 12" down in the water... My radion is at 65% max intensity, for a 9 hour photo period..... Only peaking at 65% for about 4 hours... Not enough light? I don't know...

always keep and eye on your alk if you have sps. it took days for it to drop as low as 5. you should only raise it by 1 a day until your water is back to normally. You can shock your corals by raising it to fast.
