New here, hello. I'm running a 150 gallon mixed reef with a 55 gallon sump. It's been up for 2 years but just started adding coral about a month ago. Running 36" dsuny leds and 6 t5's. Before I added coral I turned off the t5's and reduced intensity of the leds to 45%.
This is what was added and I've noted what's bleaching.
Slight bleaching-blue acropora ORA pearl berry
Bleaching bad-dark green acropora Green Tort
Bleaching bad-orange montipora
Hasn't opened-toxic green palythoa
Bleaching moderate-purple chalice
-rhodactis mushroom
Bleaching bad-orange montipora setosa
-neon green trumpet
-pink pulsing xenia
-green star polyp
-purple rhodactis
Bleaching bad-neon green birdsnest
Ph-7.93
salinity-1.025
alkalinity-5.6
calcium-400
magnesium-1400
NH3-0
NO2-0
NO3-1
PO4-0
Tds rodi-0 tds in tank 5224
I've attached some photos of when I got them and some current.
I know alkalinity was a bit low but I tested before I dosed.
Anyone have any ideas?
