I bought a used and established tank a little over a month ago, it came with about 1/3 of the rock I have now, and I added live Fiji rick. I did have a mini-cycle where my 2 small colonies of Zoas died after ammonia, phosphates and nitrates spiked. My mushrooms all shriveled up, some formed pimples, and have since seemed to have relaxed a little to what you see now in my pics. They are still luminescent under blue and UV lights. Some of them broke free from the rock, and I relocated them across the tank. I expected the possibility of losing the corals as I learned, however, I just don’t know if they’re sick or dead? Can anyone help? Also, I bought my light separately, it’s a RedSea 50. The tank is a 65 gallon. Currently still acclimating but close the end of that acclimation cycle. I’m running 100% blue and 50% white during the day. Is this light powerful enough to reach down 24 inches to the bottom? EDIT (pics didn’t load in OP, they are in comments)
