Dying Torch Coral...! - Page 2

I don't have a copper test - though we are using an RO filter which I believe is supposed to remove all that good stuff.

Perhaps I should consider swapping out one or both of the actinics for regular T5 bulbs?

I don't know. I've said enough about the lights. Like I said...I don't know anything about the strength of T5's. BC Orchid Guy says they're okay. Maybe someone else can chime in?

looks like that torch is doomed IMO.

also, test for copper, I could not figure out why all my new corals, snails and shrimp were dying when I added them until I tested the tap water...sure enough, copper.
