Alright i figure its time to post so i can get this sorted out. and why not do it at work and get paid for it.

For a couple months now some of my sps have been iffy. Growth but not colorful, some seem white but looking top down, are more of a yellowish white. Coralites usually have color to them and some ok Polyp extension.

Since im at work i can't test right now.
Last test's i did do which have been within the past week.

dKH-8
PO4 - 0ppm on salifert test.
ph - 8.3 done by probe.

i try to dose every day but with me finally picking up a full time job i tend to get lazy so i plan on getting a dosing set up soon.
i dose 2 part. Calc from BRS, DIY Alk. mag i use a bottle of i think brightwell stuff.

set up consists of a 90g tank, 50B sump, 20g frag tank tied in. SWC200 skimmer, run GFO and Carbon, Fuge, Quietone 4000 return and 2 mp40s.

8 Bulb t5, running all 8 bulbs. 5 blue plus, 1 fiji puple, 1 aquablue special, and a 10k.

This is only happening to some coral, and im still getting growth. Could it be to much light? other sps are very colorful and loving life but some just seem to be EHH.

any input?
 
What is you ca and mag at? Does your alk fluctuate from day to day? First thing I would say is stability issue. Since you dose 2 part manually and have not been keeping up with it every day your tank's stability is suffering. Get a 2 part doser or better yet a 3 part doser for ca alk and mag. If you dont have a ATO then get one as well, SG stability is important as well for sps.
