Has anyone else ever had this issue. Everything was going super great in my tank, everyone was super happy. It's a mixed reef tank with an aquatic life t5 hybrid fixture mounted on the rim of the tank running 4 B+, 1 P+ and one C+.
During regular tank maintenance I decided to ahead and clean the salt off of the reflectors since I noticed it was building up quite a bit..... Since then my sticks are going bananas, but my LPS (frogspawn, alveopora, favia) and a couple of softies (ricordea, kenya tree) are bleaching horribly.
Literally nothing else in the tank has changed... could i have increased the lighting intensity that much by cleaning the reflectors? I'm seriously considering changing to straight LEDs because I didn't want an SPS dominant tank, but that's what I'm going to end up with at this point...
