    The flow is 2 koralia evo 750's and 1 old koralia #2 650ish gph?
    Plus some from the returns.
    So in your opinion should I lower my fixture slowly over the next few weeks to see if that helps?

    Thank for you help.

    Just going to echo the same idea as dowtish.

    Move it down to get deeper reds and greens. The closer to the lighting fixture the less red more pink.

    Thank you for your help with this Corailline. I know you have had great success with this coral.
    Just to be clear. It needs MORE light? If so, I can easily lower my fixture over the next few weeks to remedy this.

    Less light IME.

    My frags that are off to the side not under direct lighting are a darker red and green.
    The main colony directly under the light is red at the base and pale pink at the tips.
