Hello reef squad,
Any advice on avoiding browning on my bubble coral? Noticed my neon green bubble’s mouth is getting a little brown. I have had it for almost a month. It’s placed on the bottom of the tank (18” from the surface ~180 PAR according to Red Sea) with low flow). Is this due to insufficient lighting?
I have noticed that my water has been a bit yellow (I stopped running carbon because of possible irritation to my tangs - HLLE), which may lower my PAR? May toss some chemipure blue in.
Running Red Sea ReefLED 50s for 10 hours (1 hour ramp up, 8 hours 100% blue 30% whites, 1 hour ramp down).
Parameters:
1.026, 34.0 ppt, 78.7F
Alk: 7.8 dKH
Ca: 430 ppm
Mg: 1560 ppm
Nitrate: 5 ppm
Phosphates: 2 ppb
Nitrite/Ammonia: 0
pH: 8.2
Thanks!!
