I have a feeling that it is likely something else going on in your tank. I have plenty of pinks and reds in my tank, and I don't have a Fiji Purple bulb over my reef. What are your parameters?

ph: 7.8 -8.05

Salinity: 35ppt

Calcium: 400-420

Alk: 8.0- 8.7

Mag: 1350- 1400

Nitrate, Amonia= 0

Phosphate : 0.01 with hanna test


I am runnning carbon, GFO and bio pellets, chaeto

Well, my red montipora is still red. Probably will try add purple bulb and see how it does
