Makes sense as I battled dinos so low phosphates and bounced back up to .21 now back to .07It's not your T5s...its not LEDs....its not halides.
Birdsnests are notoriously fussy about phosphate and nutrient levels. More so than some acropora like green slimers.
Quick nutrient swings or uber low phosphate is what kills most birdsnests.
Curious if it recoveredThe base of my birdsnest is turning white also. It wasn't yesterday but is today. The only thing that has changed in my tank perimeters is that I put chemi-clean in for cyano and turning sump light of at night (I wasn't doing this before as I heard it helps keep PH stable to leave it on). I Have owned this frag for about 3 weeks and slowly got it used to AI Sol Blue LEDs and is still not at the top of the tank. It is also not in direct 40* but in the 70* optic range 24" from the lenses. It is completely around the base so it doesn't look like bleaching and the tips are not white either. Actually, it appears to be growing.

I have only supplemented amino acid (as directed) and strontium -(only a very small amount every other week). All other coral is doing great. Any ideas?
