Proteus is on a distinguished road
Default Sps color and radion

I've been struggling with some color in my tank.
My red planet is yellow while others like my deswalli are great
Pink Floyd is green and not gaining any color

I have a 24x24x12 half cube. 90% of coral is 6" deep. The radion(gen1)is 10" above water. It starts at 3pm ramp for one hour to 10k at 70% going to 20k @ 80% by 10pm ramping down for 1 hour
I feed very little as I only have three chromis. The bioload is very light with skimmer only pulling after dosing coral snow. It's a prodibio tank


My params

Nitrate 0
Po4 undetectable
Ph who knows

Cal 450
Alk 7
Mg 1350/1400

I'm on the verge of buying a 250w metal halide but thought some gurus may have suggestions

Much appreciated.
