Hey guys 2 weeks back i got green palys and now they are brown, no other problems though.. what can be the reason? My light is 10000k 40w diy led. They are wild caught though.

Parameters in check doesn't mean anything to me or anyone else here that will try and help you. Really need to see a full set of parameters please.

All corals regardless of what kind they are should always be started at the bottom on the sandbed and in lower flow area until they get acclimated to your tank.

Ph 8
Alk 8
No3 15
Po4 .75

Softies only tank, no fish as of now (had velvet)
Adding seachem reefplus as per recomended.
Medium flow
distance between light and paly is around 11"
 
What are Mg and Ca? Your Phosphates are very high. The nitrates shouldn't be a problem but 10 or less would be better. Alk and PH are fine

Who recommended the Seachem and for what reason?

Mag and cal i dont measure coz i jus want softies. I add seachem reefplus as i dont do wc, we dont use rodi here in india as its not available. And everytime we do, we get algae blooms. my home drinking water purifier gives a tds of 20 at the lowest. Have had success doing no wc rather than wc. Before i had mixed reef and dosed diy randys 3part formula and reefplus. But i feel tht there are way less corals so i jus dose half the recommended dose after 2 mnths. The polyps are looking very healthy, only thing is its missing the green colour. Maybe these grew in very lowtide in the wild. They are attached on a normal black rocks tht u see on rocky shores.
