Question! Why do some of my coral look like this??

[Zeal]

White leds tend to really increase par levels, and since leds are a more focused light the corals seems to take a long time to acclimate. With that said, you can acclimate any coral to any light, it just might be a much slower acclimation than what you think. When you purchase new corals for your tank try to find ones that are currently being grown under leds, it will help them acclimate easier to your tank.

As for the ones in your tank already I would just set it to AB+ and leave the acclimation as is. Give it time and see what happens. Try to just set it and forget it, changing things isn’t gonna help the process. Corals are extremely adaptable and will eventually come around.

Alright I switched it. What about the schedule intensity??

I can’t tell you exactly, but I run at 90%. How high are your lights?

Like inches from the diode to the waterline?

 

[Flux Capacitor]

Yea

 

[Zeal]

Yea

10inches off the waterline.

I’d try 95%, give it some time see what happens.

I’d also try to get some reagents for the nitrate, that could be the other half of the digi’s problem.

I ordered the hanna checker. And I set it at 100% My last par test was with AB+ and I was hitting 200-300s everywhere

Let us know how the coral responds.

I really hope switching to AB+ all day does not hurt my corals.

If you have doubt go back to what you were doing. All I can give you is advice based on my experience. I think AB+ all day will improve your current problems, and shouldn’t at all effect all your corals.

The only variable is your over all intensity. Is 100% gonna be too much intensity? I’m not sure, the only way to know for sure is measure current par numbers in your tank. Using the information I’ve gathered, based off my par map that I took in my tank, I settled at 90.

I can show you the par map of AB+ that I took...

Sure post it we can take a look

I already pared my tank 2 week ago. This is with acclimation mode off.

the area where the Digi is about 240 PAR

This is AB+ whites at 25% red and green 10% blues 100%. 3 Radion XR15 Pro Gen 5

Here ya go!

Sorry didn’t see the par numbers in your original post. Those numbers are in line with a mixed reef. If that is AB+ then you should have no issues, but like I said if you are nervous then go back to what you were doing. Good luck.
