When i just started my tank i had nutrients problems and was struggling to keep sps where i lost most of the colony i bought. To fight this problem i decided to get a tank to maintain my Tank. I got a 4x2x2 tank to be used as a refugium in an effort to reduce nutrients to undetectable levels.

Now im facing some problems with a few of my sps with some of them turning brown and some dying off at the tips.
This bali green slimer turn brown suddenly within the past few days despite looking very healthy the past few weeks.

Some of the tips of my milli is dying off with algae growing over it

My new ice fire enchinata is also dying from the tips ( i dont expect much from it as its new and also a difficult coral to keep)

I also realised my green pocci colours are not as green as before. Anyone have any idea what caused this?
Could it be due to the lack of trace elements? As i do not dose any trace elements other than calcium alk and mag from the calcium reactor and only do a 2.5% water change weekly

Hope to get some answers....i am considering to begin adding red sea abcd trace colours when i get them.

Try checking your iron level , I just discover this for myself too that my iron level in my tank is very low. Which maybe is due to the big refugium tank I have.

Iron will affect the green of the corals.

Ok thanks....initially i suspected potassium and tested it to be around 370 ( still not too far off i guess) but will be expecting to start adding trace elements to bring up the levels.

Decided to do a full clean up for my refugium after seeing all the detritus accumulated and algaes growing on the glass.
