Well my tank has been running since early August and all has been going well. I been getting awesome growth especially since I started dosing 2-part. However I am having problems with 3 coral in particular with color. First let me apologize for the pics. It's the best I can do with the iPhone.
Pearl berry: not my worst. The tips are very light, kind of a pale lavender color otherwise kind of blah. Or maybe I'm just asking too much here.
Purple nana: new growth has great color but all the old growth has never colored up for me. Again maybe I'm asking tooth here too.
Atl raspberry limeade: this is clearly the worst of the tank. Growth has really just started to happen, but as you can see that new growth is void of any color. Of growth has remained brownish.
All three of these are situated between mid-tans and 2/3rds of the way up.
Onto parameters: instead of listing everything seperate I'll just say that all would be considered well within what one would consider good for a reef.
Lights: 8x48" Tek t5

Like I said I just might be asking too much out of these but I figured I would get some thoughts on placement. Thanks in advance.
