How big is your tank?
Thanks. I'm a little reluctant to do that. I think it's counter intuitive when the corals are bleaching. And I'll wait till I got a par meter on hand.Increase your lighting I'd say.

I think a PAR meter will help with dialing in your lights, but I still think that you are running them too low. I have (3) hydra 52's over my tank and you can see in the screen shot below how what my settings are. Also check out this link... http://www.corallore.com/coral-bleaching/. As you can see too little light can cause bleaching events.Thanks. I'm a little reluctant to do that. I think it's counter intuitive when the corals are bleaching.

Ok, so I got a seneye now. What par numbers should I aim for?

What he saidGoing 300-500 after not knowing where you were before is a recipe for disaster. Nothing is going to die at 125 PAR so start low and go from there.

Thanks. The alk is steady how slow is SLOWLY?Is your ALK steady? Swings cause problems with what looks like bleaching. I would bumped up the light, SLOWLY, intensity with it being that high up.
Awesome tank, GLW finding your problem!
Over 2-3 weeks.Thanks. The alk is steady how slow is SLOWLY?
Just a quick followup for those interested.
I got the suspicion that the tank was missing some trace elements like iodine.
So I removed the activated carbon and started adding a complete mix of trace elements and "voila" - SPS are growing in my tank. It took me a year to figure that one out
