Stylophora, I think

Hey, I very recently added these stylophora to my tank and i just thought i would share. They are brown right now, but I've sen many threads where corals color up. Any way to know if that will happen?

 

What spectrum of light do you have and what are your nitrate and phosphate levels?

 

I have 2 12000k, 1 420 and 1 460 t5 ho bulbs.
Phosphates: 0
Nitrates: 20
I am going to add some PAR (3b,2w) bulbs soon. I already have them just have to get mounting hardware.

 

You will want to get the nitrates down to below 5 most likely to get the coral to start showing good color. Can not tell what color it will be. A good bet is you will see some cream and pink. Might get some others too.

 

That would be cool. I've been trying to get nitrates down, thing is I don't have any nuisance algae in my tank and coralline is growing like crazy. I did cut back feedings and I added another bulb to my fuge. I will test again next week.
