Hi All,
At the MARS frag swap in April I got a small 1" frag of Steve Elias Blue Stag Coral. It has doubled in length and is now branching, but the color just isn't there. It didn't help that I moved, but I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions on how to bring the color back on this coral. I have a Cali Tort, various Monti's, a superman, and other SPS in my mixed reef tank that are doing fine. The coral sits in the upper third of the tank, and gets moderate flow. My light is a 20K Radium 150 HQI (~6month old bulb) and on for 10 Hours/day, the tank is a 28g nano. Parameters are dKh = 10, Ca = 480, SG = 35ppt, Mg = 1400, pH= 8.2, Temp = 78. I have a skimmer on 24/7, and run phosban as well. Any insight welcomed!
