Pastel sps colours

[moron_clown]

Hi fellow reefers, I've been using the VSV method since i started my tank. Recently, i noticed that my sps colours are getting very pastel, especially my Bali Tri-Colour. It turned from a dark purple to almost light blue. My reversed Sunset and Sunset montipora are also affected. I've been dosing Amino and oyster eggs+phyto but the colours does'nt improve. anyone here on VSV have the same problems?

Parameters

No3 - undetectable

Po4 -undetectable

kH -8

Cal - 430

Mag- 1400

look at the Tricolour Frag

before

Now

Thanks

Try reducing your vodka dosage. If nutrient levels are minimal you will get the pastel colors.

Bro, some people wanted the pastel colour you having but cannot get due to the high nutrient in their tank. Just like me.. Mine are mainly DARK coloured!

I totally agreed with Fuel that this is due to very low nutrient in your tank.

Bro,

how about throwing in a school of anthias or cardinals for the increase nutrient part? this will definitely increase the feeding?

Seriously, I adore your tank greatly!

Happy Reefing,

ok i'll try increasing feeding and limiting my carbon dosage. but i'm afraid that my fiji acros will brown out...

i'm taking a shortcut with carbon dosing, so not really fair play.. hey your tank looks great btw and i yearn the dark blue and purple or my previous "higher" nutrient tank...
