After I put the kids down for a nap and started on cleaning I paused to lovingly gaze into my tank... 20 mins later of lovingly gazing... I notice my purple/pink torches tentacles were fading. Not all of them just some. Some tentacles have gone translucent, some just the top side. Is this it starting to bleach, and what can I do to fix it
TANK PARAMETERS
Nitrates: 10
Alkaline: 8
Calcium: 480
Magnesium:1290
Phosphates: .08
Salinity: 1.025
Temperature:79
TANK SPECS
Red Sea Reefer 350
(2)Current USA IC Pro lights
(4) T5 lights- 2 Blue+, 2 Coral+
(2) 1050 power heads- Current USA(with covers)
1050 return pump-Current USA
The torch has been in the tank for about a month and been looking good. It extends and seems to be growing. 2 weeks after I got the torch I added T5 lighting and have been slowly ramping up the time, adding an hour every 3-4days. Currently they are on for 5 hours.
Is the light to much, should I lower it down on the rocks?
