I have heard that corals don't like ramping of LED unless its a quick ramp up for lights on and a quick ramp down for lights off.

Your lights might be too bright. I'm running radions at 35% at 6 inches above water with a 20" deep tank. With sps 12 inches deep

I'm using reefers best salt. Ill get a potassium kit and test.

I just revamped lights to 30min ramp and 20k all day.
I was looking online for color charts of radium20k and geissmann 21k but found nothing.

Ill grab a coupl more fish and see. Although I would prefer just to broadcast food.

Maybe ill pull filter sick and see if that changes anything
