Hey everyone I just had some questions on my cabbage leather, it seems to me as if it is bleaching or turning a pale brown color. When I got it it was a very bright green and I have had it for over a year it has probably tripled in size but has lost the neon green brightness that it had. It does still open up nicely during the day and the polyps open nicely but just has a very pale color to it, any suggestions on bringing it back to color or just keep my parameters stable for a few months and see what happens? I did just put a sump in and upgraded from hob everything because I’m of a hair algae problem I have had since the beginning! Thanks for any tips or any other thing I missed!
