Radion vs halide help

[Proteus]

K. I set up a cube tank. Took Rick and water from existing tank. And also added 5 gallons of fresh mix ro water. No carbon or gfo yet.

Bulbs from other system were replaced may 5th. All water perameters are good.
I dosed old system every three days so I don't suspect alk

I use salinity salt and salinity is at 1.025

I am doing a water change as I have always scheduled before adding prodibio

The only thing I can suspect is that corals were on frag rack of old tank while I pulled rocks up to put in new tank possibly contaminating water. While I did this I primed water. And coral was only there long enough to allow cube to clear.

I'm not suspecting lights but don't want to rule them out

60% from the start is high. You need to really tone it down and take your time to raise them to 60%. Ecotech LED's are extremely bright. Light shock will kill your corals in 2 days, where not enough light will kill them in 2 months.

I had 6 x ATI T5 over my tank and when I swapped them our for sunbrite LED's I really took my time to ramp them up. 2 months later they are still at about 50%

Here is how slow I acclimated mine...

I'll tone them down now

[Proteus]

Down to 20%.

Never realized how bright 20% is

[fishytime]

I dont think the issue has anything to do with lighting......the tank is brand new......it doesnt matter if the rock and water came from your tank or not......I started a 25g tank that I plumbed in to my main display, all the water and rock came from the display....the rock literally was only out of the water for about 10 seconds and I still got a big algae bloom in the new tank.......my guess would be unstable conditions are what is causing the tissue loss.....

[Proteus]

I think your right. I added prime and H2O2. To the water when I filled tank. And added carbon yesterday to rid any contaminates. No invert or fish were affected and only 2 corals out of 20.

I hope to see stable conditions I guess I may see a mini cycle. Last time I upgraded I never had any issues. But maybe I never paid enough attn as I had mostly Lps then

[Proteus]

came home to see my tank is going through its mini cycle glass was gross. cleaned added new skimmer and small water change..

should be good from here on out
