After moving everything over from my 90g long to my new 215, i am not getting as good of polyps extension on a half dozen or so of my corals. they are getting around the same par, and i thought maybe the flow was too little for the bigger tank so i added another mp40w, a wavebox, and a magnum 8. still not much better they are still colored up nicely, just not as fuzzy. any ideas?
polyp extension not what it used to be

about 3 weeks ago. guess i did lose a little flow, 134x turnover in the 90g to 75x in the 215. just sucks seeing stuff not do as well as it used to. even had 2 or 3 frags/mini colonies stn on me due to the move. lost my oregon tort and had to chop up a red/blue/green milli =(

Check for redbugs or other pests?
None that I can see. I dip everything new to my tank now after having red bugs in the past. All parameters are also on point, with nitrates of between 0-5 being the only high one. Alk and ph are stable at 11.2 and 7.99-8.13 night/day. Calcium is at 460, mag at 1500, ammonia nitrites are 0, phosphate are undetectable on salifert. Salinity is 1.026. Temp ranges from 77.8-79.4
