Looking great.
I doubt the Mag overdose is the cause of zoos loosing colors.

Well my paramters otherwise seems to be ok.

pH 8,20
sg 1025
KH 9,5
Ca 400 (TM Ca/Mg)
Mg 1380 (TM Ca/Mg)
NO3 < 2,5ppm
PO4 0 ppm


I use Hanna Checkers for KH and PO4, Tropic Marin Ca/Mg test and Elos NO3 test. The lights are 5 months old and the Zoas were under it for 3 months already..

My open brain coral lost its red hue and became a pink one and now this is the second drastic color change. I dont know if they will ever recover. And i dont know what i should do , to give them a chance to recover...

Nice tank! It's really cool to see how it is growing in. It will be even better to see in another year, so please update with the progress.

In the last month i have added 2 new equipment to the system, purchased Bubble Magus dosing pump and Tunze Osmolator. My life has become much much easier. No more daily chores of topping manually and dosing KH/Ca/Trace..

An updated pic..

I have done a change in the aquascape. I like the current design better for sps positioning. You can find the pictures below.

A quick update. I got rid of the montiporas and added some other livestock. Finally managed to fix some corals positions like i wanted. There are still a few things i plan to do.
