Need help~ about SPS' color

[choicelife]

Dear guys,

I am glad to find this forum and seek the solution.
Recently i bought a few frags, but the color didn't goes well.
here are my status:
ALK :8.6
CA: 425
Mg: 1420
No3:0
No2:0
temp: 26 C

Here are my questions, if you have any tips, please tell me. thanks .
1. Is that a regularly status to SPS?

2. This is my red planet, i put it in a stronger water flow, and*medium lights.*but it never goes green, and*right*now, it looks like a little bit white ...
Is that means it going to dead? what should I do?


3. This pic has a*similar*situation with red planet, it's in a stronger water flow, and*medium lights.
is it dying?



*

4. In this pic, i mark it with a red circle, in this area, is that means the light is too strong to make it upset?*

*

5.If anyone has this reef and already colored , please tell me is that its final color? or i can wait it in hope.


Thanks you!

Do the parameters of your water stay stable and how often do you test?

Do you have an auto top off system and what is your salinity? How are you measuring salinity? With a calibrated refractometer using a proper solution of 53 mS?

What kind of lights, how high elevated, and how long ran? Over what size tank?
Some thoughts to throw out to start.
