Acclimating SPS in a 30" deep tank. What the best way to do this? Please go to the last page of my build thread as I asked this question over there also: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=22223510#post22223510

Thank you!

I do not think its a light problem but rather an nutrient problem instead. What are your levels at and what is you light cycle like?

Just tested everything.

DkH: 8
Ca: 460
Mg: 1260
PH: 8.1
PO4: 0.0 but I have some algae so this is not correct.
NO3: 1.0 all fish are removed due to an ICH outbreak.

Those are all the testes I have. All are fairly good results. DkH could be higher and also could be Mg. I'll adjust them slowly.

My lights come on at noon and go off at 9pm every day. At that time the lights over my refugium come on and stay on until noon the next day.

Two things come to mind.
1) ULNS = Pale Sps
2) pale SPS= needs Nutrients.
