Default New Light Bulb Affecting Corals?
Last Tuesday I replaced the centre bulb of my Aqualight Pro. The old bulb was 2 years on and was the original Coralife 150W 10,000K MH HQI bulb. I replaced it with a brand new Aqua Connect 150W 14,000K bulb. I have two corals under this bulb that are not doing well all of a sudden. A Cladiella sp. and a Trachyphyllia geoffroyi. The polyps of the Colt are extended, but the coral as a whole is shriveled tight...as is the Open Brain. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with a new bulb(s), and if so, how it worked out for you. (FWIW, the left and right bulbs are 6 month old Coralife 150W 14,000k bulbs and everything under those are doing fine).

Thanx much,
