Hey guys so about a week ago I noticed that some of my monti cap as well as various acros are starting to bleach. I will attach photos to show what I would call bleaching... maybe I am wrong.
50 g frag tank , running 4 T5 metal halide, 2 kessil 160s , no protein skimmer just 40lbs love rock in the sump And filter socks.
my parameters are as folllows.
Temp 80.4
Salinity - 1.0275
Alkalinity- 12 (but stable)
Calcium -500
Magnesium- 1800
Nitrate - 0-3ppm
Phosphate- 0
80.4 with the lights on I have seen it get up to 81.... or down to 79
Please help!
