I started a new tank in June my dream has been always to color and grow sps I’ve had success in the past with easier sps like Monti birds nest stag etc

I’m having color / growth issues but all parameters are stable and correct all the lighting and equipment is top notch

I’d be happy to post a bunch of pictures this weekend when I have the time to go over everything but my ?

IMO Don't expect a SPS tank to do well for the first year..
Many will say that a tank takes 8-12 months to "mature"..
Bacterial populations,etc.. are all still growing/fighting/adjusting,etc.. during that time.

I also find that sometimes we strive for perfection and end up maintaining water quality that is far too "pristine" and just starve the corals,etc..

Now knowing your parameters/lighting/pictures,etc.. may help offer more targeted answers...

A very sage explanation, time is now needed.:)
