wow so you are running the mitras pretty dialed back then eh . And your at 9.5 inch above water line.

Well this could explain my bleached out colors lol .. my pink and white red planet..

I have been running 5" above water . 100% high output. With white at bl , rb and white all at 100% . thats way above your settings..

time for me to dial back

thanks !

Everyones setups are different. Don't drastically alter yours or it could have an even more adverse effect for your corals. It would be interesting to see what kind of PAR numbers you're getting with that configuration though!

Also I started my coral placement when I was a little more naive to the requirements of some SPS versus others. I knew there was a difference between most montipora and acropora but still put my montis at mid level or higher in the tank. That prevented me from cranking my lights too much higher, as the montis began to suffer if I did. Now that I have purged the montis I plan to raise the overall intensity somewhat.

So the nudibranch's are doing their thing. The tank went through a rough patch most likely due to the die-off/chemical warfare going on. I have been gone to work for three weeks and am home now doing water changes and general tank maintenance. But through all of this the SPS are growing. A couple burnt tips though.

Test results from today 456 Ca, 8.4 Alk, 1350 MG, 1.026 sg, 25.6 Celsius, .03 Phos, 1.0 nitrates (too high in my opinion, likely due to the increased die-off).

Growing and new zoa/paly's

Some damaged and not so damaged LPS









Weird recession on a chalice.


Not an LPS but still sweet


So big I can't fit it into the full frame of my 105mm macro

Damaged hammers. These two receded half way then stopped. My all gold hammer is done for
