Things were going well for me, then I made a rookie mistake that might have bleached my corals.
I moved a tank about three months ago that was a year old. A month or so after I moved the tank, I realized I had my XR 15 on the wrong light setting (it had reset itself). So I updated it back and cut down the intensity for fifteen days to acclimate.
Fast forward to today. I've lost two corals that have completely bleached (montipora) and a few that aren't looking so good. My BTA also split.
Is the issue my lighting or something else? Params are below. What can I do to fix?
32 gallon Fiji cube AIO
Xr15 pro light with AB+ setting at 65%
Coralvue skimmer
Use Red Sea salt, currently switching from coral pro to the normal salt (didn't like the high alk)
Temp: 78
PH: 8.4
Alk: 9.2
Calcium: 420
Mag: 1350
Salinity: 1.026
Nitrate: around 0.5
Phosphate: 0.01
