btw, if your corals colors begin to start turning pale and lighten, then either youre not feeding your fish enough or might need to add more to the bioload, and also means youre running a nutrient-low envrionment. could also be that they werent acclimated to the lighting. if they STN or RTN itll be hard to trace what happened to them. usually its when someone adds or changes something to the tank-- could also happen for no reason, only solution is to frag the healthy parts and throw away the parts affected.
if your corals begin to darken in color then you probably have issues with excess nutrients and should try to see if running more GFO or adding a GFO reactor to the tank could help, also running a large skimmer can help, but can also deplete some trace elements like potassium
well, hope that helps out. i forgot to ask you, what size of tank is this in? if its a small tank or a tank with a few frags, you can look into either making your own calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium or buying calcium and alkalinity like B-Ionic.
once you have everything the way it should be, if you have a sump, you can use kalkwasser to maintain alkalinity, pH, and calcium, but it will raise pH.
good luck
