Any way polyop lab medic could cause acro to start bleaching.

I just wanted to see if anyone has heard or knows if polyop lab could cause my acro to start beaching.

They are small frags and were doing fine before. It's only the 4 Arco frags I have though. No other sps.

I've been talking to a friend about it(i got 3 of the frags from)... we have alrety ruled out bugs. So onto the next big thing that has happend.

Maybe, though probably not. . .

Gotta ask the obligatory questions:

What are your parameters?

How long have you had the tank?

How long have you had the coral?

Tank stocking?

Pictures under white light?

Yea forgot to do all that...
No3: 15
Po4: .22
Alk: 8.3 as of a week and a half ago(reagent went bad)
Ph:8.2

I've had the tank 10 months. 4 months since I upgraded.
One of the across I've had for 5 months the other 2 for 3.

Tank stocking is light right now as ich killed off a few fish... planning on restocking soon.

Now the 2 acro I pictured are starting to un-bleach.

Here is a better picture w/orange filter.
I just changed my lights to a better setting. Corals love it.

But old question remains.

What dosage did you use? Polyp lab medic is peroxide. I’ve never used that specific product but have dosed peroxide (standard 3%) up to 3mL/10 gallons and personally never had issues with bleaching. It would irritate zoas but sps seemed unfazed. It’s possible if it was a high dose, but I’d lean more toward alk instability or lighting first.

It was a high dosage I was doing... it's not lightning as I had no problems beforehand. Lightning didn't change till yesterday.
Alk has been stable. Also I belive the torches would be absolutely done with alk being unstable.

The awnser I think is yes. I probobly had too high of a dosage for too long.

Def something to keep in mind.
