Has anyone considered the coral.i have some corals that only open at night. I would be more concerned if they are Milies and are not opening, then they are telling u, u have a real problem.

Kindler 19 is right on it. UV light is so strong that stuffs a killer if u don't know what ur doing...
I turned my uv to 30% on my ai Vegas and within 2 days all my sps had burnt spots on them... Bad stuff, I turned my uv off all together. And most corals have recovered pretty well.
You could try and drop ur alk as well 7.5
I ran mine at 9.8 for the longest time and when I dropped it to the 7dkh area growth took off PE started to show more and colors got better...


Good luck
 
Thank's everyone for your advice. I did turn my uv's back off a few day's ago. I also have been feeding my coral's at the end of the day so that might also be the culprit. I picked up a milli, and two acro's on saturday. The fire and ice I bought did not show any PE during the day at the store and I am getting a little throughout the day. The milli and other acro have good PE all day and better at night so I will see if my other corals were just trained to come out at night or if these new additions stop having PE then I know I still have a problem. Thanks everyone
