I got a couple of new acros over the weekend. This tank has been setup for little over a year. As far as SPS goes I have a ORA red planet which is encrusting nicely, 2 different types of poccis which are not growing but haven't died in last 3 months, couple of monti caps which are doing fine. All zoas are doing fine.
This weekend I received a Paletta tri-color, Cali Tort, and a yellow tip acro from a local reefer. When I received the frags they all had nice colors with PE. But after I did a 10~15 minutes Bayer dip the tri-color and the yellow tip turned greyish, then complete white. I think the corals are bleached. The tank they came from ran T5, the small frag tank I have was running LED. Could it be the bayer? or was the light too intense on the LED? Is there anyway to revive them? Or are they gone? I can post pictures when I get home tonight.
Tank parameters are:
NO3: 3ppm
PO4: haven't tested in a while, I have some cyano on my sand, so guessing it's high
Cal: 420ppm
Alk: 9.8dKh
Sal: 1.026
Mg; haven't tested in a while
