I will update with macros and growth shots soon. As well as a little bit of new equipment.
Now most of my sps are frags again due to loss and I lost a lot of z&ps as well along with my bpc flamethrower. I have gone through all kinds of ideas and changes to straighten things out.
Stopped biopellets, it wasn't them restarted them.
changed salt from neomarine to tropic marine, still was losing coral.
Constantly checked every level I could think of with hanna checkers and test kits.
finally I came across this from eastamherstbias here on RC:
all readings were taken at 100%
I was running the radiant template on my pros at 85% which crosses spectrums from 14k to 20k and less. My tank is only 18 inches deep.
The thought never crossed my mind I was frying sps and zos because my sps were turning brown and brown made me think nutrients: NO3 and PO4, the z and ps would grow very fast then close and melt. I have since cut my radions down to 40% and still even considering less. My sps have now colored up very well the z and ps while not having explosive growth are big and growing nicely. Funny thing is that threw me off is my chalice were perfectly fine no bleaching but not too much growth now they are growing much better. The chalices threw me for a loop since they are a low light coral along with my acans but now they are much fluffy as well.
I should have thought about the lights more they actually twice as powerful as the g1s I had, but glad I finally figured it out.
now the conversion of par to lux is discussed on advanced aquarist
these charts also help me realize my error:
