Hi,
I am running with my new LPS tank for almost 4months, and I noticed there's something wrong with my brain corals(bleaching).
recent test: No3->2 | Po4-> nearly zero | KH->9.9
and I feed coral every week

So I am wondering if I am setting my light right.
My ap700 currently turns on at 10:50 and runs up to 55% at 13:00, then goes down to 23% at 19:00, turns off at 23:00.

Can someone please give me an advice or share me their ap700 lighting schedule?
Much appreciated! and please forgive my English:downcast-face-with-sweat:
Thank you!!


Here are two pics of my bleaching corals.

Here's the PAR reading of my tank, I think it's a bit low at the moment, but I dont know how high should I set..
any suggestion?

The Par does not seem to be terrible for LPS. I would look into flow. make sure you have a good random flow pattern across the whole tank. Also run some carbon might help and make sure no one is stinging anyone else.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 4 21.1%
  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 3 15.8%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 5 26.3%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
