what are you using t5's how many bulbs? what size tank do you have? and what kind of corals are you talking about sps lps softies?, are you dosing anything? lots of questions to little info

I'm using Coral Life HO T5 4 bulbs my tank is a 30 gallon with these corals frogspawn,hammer,zoes,feathertoad, brain coral,mushroom. Most of them is hardy base on what i know. And i'm not dosing anything except for supplements.

I would use ati bulbs 1 blue plus 1 fiji purple 1coral plus and 1 atinic do weekly water changes of 10-15% this will keep down any nutrient problems. It sounds like your keeping all lps and softies a shouldn't be having a problem. do you have any power heads for flow? running a sump>

Yeah i got one power head. And i don't have a sump since it's sitting on my desktop table. I will try to change the bulbs and do more water change.

t5 bulbs should be changed every 6 months
