Thanks, the fish is already eating the next day , but still a little shy when the lights are on.

By time to time it's doing great and suddenly they are melting away. Maybe it's the low nutrients . I think zoas like more dirtier waters. I'm using fauna marine balling to keep cal , alk and mag .

It's a fast grower for me. It's even growing faster then the green slimer or monti caps.

Hey, your tank and corals look awesome. I had a question regarding the intensity of your radions. I read in another thread that you're running them at 100% for 4 hours with a 3 hour ramp up and ramp down.
My tank is 40 x 24 x 20 deep rimless and I also have two XR15w Pros. I was running them at a ramp up to 3 hours at 55%, 14k as recommended by several threads on this site. But I've been noticing paling and browning of sps. The rest of my parameters are in check, 0.00-0.02 phostphate, 0.02 nitrate, 445 cal, 8.4 alk, 1440 mag, 35ppt salinity. I even tried lowering my max intensity to 45% because some people suggested maybe too much light.
I'm now wondering if I'm starving my corals of light? Would you suggest a slow ramp up to a similar schedule to yours of 100% or close to it for 3-4 hours? Could that be causing my coloring issues?

Paling could be the corals are starving. Try feeding your fish more or add more bio load. I have a very heavy bio load , but I export also very heavy and I'm carbon dosing. Corals turning brown could be many reasons. Not enough light , shipping stress. I never acclimate my corals to the light and dont have any problem, but I know that the corals came from very strong light. If you are scared you can slowly ramping the intensivity up. I will share my schedule tomorrow so you can see how my schedule looks like.

Cool, thanks, I'd love to see the schedule. I skim heavy and was both using GFO and GAC. I removed my GFO and haven't changed my GAC in a while now. I also started dosing AcroPower and Reef Chili. I've noticed better PE after dosing those two, but no change in colors. I have 13 fish including a Kole Tang and feed 2-3 times a day.

I'm trying to decode the schedule but having some difficulty. Is that from Reeflink? I use an Apex so I'm guessing the code is quiet a bit different.

yes it's from reeflink. If you can't decode it , just let me know and i will write my schedule here so you can know what my setting is.
