Hi I am not total new to reefing but i have a "new" tank it has been set up for about 4 months and i have a 40g breeder and i am running current usa oribit marine led with the 2 strips of lights. I have 6 corals in there 3 acans 1 favia 1 duncan and a torch coral they are all on the sandbed and the 3 acans are bleached with very little color and so is the torch and the duncan is starting to loose a little color and the favia looks ok. I do a 30% water change every 1-2 weeks and have a refugium with chaeto algae that is starting to take off. Perameters are nitrite 0, nitrate 0-5/ undetectable, ammonia 0, ph 8.3 day and night, kh 9, calcium 480, phosphate 0, salinity 1.023, temperature 77. I was currentley running all lights at 100% not nowith that theese lights are actually very powerful my lfs said that that is probably why theu are bleaching today i have put them all on 50% power reccomended by my lfs. I am asking if you guys think this ist the problem also??? Stock list 2 clownfish 4 small blue legged hermits and a feather duster that is fat and happy. Flow is moderate i run 2 curremt usa powerheads set to 50%.
