Hey everyone,
I recently moved my SPS corals to a new tank setup (same lighting brand, same salt mix, similar flow), but I’ve noticed that some of them—especially my acros—are starting to lose color and look a bit faded. Polyps are still extending, and parameters seem stable:
Could this be stress from the move, or should I be looking at possible lighting acclimation or micro parameter swings? I'm using Radion G5s at 50% intensity, same as before, but maybe the spread is different?
Has anyone experienced similar fading after a transfer, and what helped you bring the color back?
Thanks in advance!

- Alk: 8.3
- Calcium: 420
- Mag: 1350
- Nitrates: ~5ppm
- Phosphates: ~0.03ppm
