I'm happy too. The rainbow millepora is growing really really slow compared to my other corals.

By time to time it's doing great and suddenly they are melting away. Maybe it's the low nutrients . I think zoas like more dirtier waters. I'm using fauna marine balling to keep cal , alk and mag .

It's a fast grower for me. It's even growing faster then the green slimer or monti caps.

Hey, your tank and corals look awesome. I had a question regarding the intensity of your radions. I read in another thread that you're running them at 100% for 4 hours with a 3 hour ramp up and ramp down.

My tank is 40 x 24 x 20 deep rimless and I also have two XR15w Pros. I was running them at a ramp up to 3 hours at 55%, 14k as recommended by several threads on this site. But I've been noticing paling and browning of sps. The rest of my parameters are in check, 0.00-0.02 phostphate, 0.02 nitrate, 445 cal, 8.4 alk, 1440 mag, 35ppt salinity. I even tried lowering my max intensity to 45% because some people suggested maybe too much light.

I'm now wondering if I'm starving my corals of light? Would you suggest a slow ramp up to a similar schedule to yours of 100% or close to it for 3-4 hours? Could that be causing my coloring issues?

Paling could be the corals are starving. Try feeding your fish more or add more bio load. I have a very heavy bio load , but I export also very heavy and I'm carbon dosing. Corals turning brown could be many reasons. Not enough light , shipping stress. I never acclimate my corals to the light and dont have any problem, but I know that the corals came from very strong light. If you are scared you can slowly ramping the intensivity up. I will share my schedule tomorrow so you can see how my schedule looks like.
