just a question thats been bugging me .... when sps go brown , that is an indication that there are excess nutrients in the water ... correct ??? my question is whether insuffient lighting can also do that???
Also doubt its lighting. What are your PO4 readings?TANK IS 4 FOOT , 450mm depth , using 5X54w ts5 (ati/geismann) and 2X39w t5 deltec aquablue plus
Hmmmm didnt think of that! My systems are 99% soft corals. And I have the brownest Acro's in town.
Quote "Last, but not least, soft corals in the system giving off toxins."
ofcourse,just phone me before you send him to check if im incan i send with my cuz mek ???
I had a smallish but fast growing Gorgonian in my system, which I got as a frag and was kinda attached to it. When Calfo saw my tank he commented on the toxicity of Gorgonians, citing that they amongst the most toxic corals on a reef. I didn't think much of it intially. It's a smallish piece and my tank is a fair size, and I run carbon 24/7. Anyway about 2 weeks ago I decided to take it out. There has been an improvement in the colours of the corals in the vicinty of where the Gorg was.. Interesting..
