Giving up on SPS and switching to Zoas (i can't get it to color up with LED)

First the Frags:

1. Steve Garrett Stylophora $10
2. Steve Garrett ?Garf Purple Bonsai/Valida $10
3. Frag from SPS coral store $5
4. 2 Frags Bali Tricolor $5/ea
5. Montipora Digitata $10












Next are the Colony

1. Bali Tricolor x 2 - $25/ea
2. Bali Purple Acropora (?name) - $25
3. Deep water Lokani - $20
4. ?Milli Acro (was green but darker now) with nice Sunset Monti at base - $25














I seem to do a better job at Keeping Zoas and my new fish :)

I've been having the same problem, but I have noticed the lower my phosphates get the been my coloring gets. May I ask what are your phosphates?

Yup - SPS is hard. Still learning 1 year into hobby now. Just Patience, Keep all parameters steady is probably the best things for SPS. I have seen people with SPS with high nitrate and Phosphate and SPS doing good so still don't understand it well. But overall, SPS don't like Fluctuation in Temperature, Alkanility and prob Nitrate/Phosphate.

My Phosphate was as high as .3-.4 but lately, been doing well around .06-.08, Nitrate is 10-15

Tony - i will consider the ATI Hybrid in few months after i play with Zoas; may return to SPS. Don't want to mix SPS with Zoas as heard SPS like clean water while Zoas thrive in dirty water but again that may not be true.....

Everyone who PM - please be patient, been getting lots of PM about the SPS, will try to respond timely and figure out who email first about which SPS....

You should get a Calcium reactor Khoi.....it's the best thing to maintain your tank's stability. I just hooked up mine last month. So far so good...crossing fingers LOL
