I would get some better lights on there. I have a 7g Fluval Edge Nano with a 150W Metal Halide and LED suppliments... and I have pure purple rocks, with coraline growing over coraline. I also dose calcium into my ATO resevoir.

Do you have any corals in there yet? And have you done a water change since the setup?

I have several softies that are doing well. Some finger leather, xenia, mushroom, and zoas and palys.

I have also done 10% water change every two weeks since day 1.

Perhaps my last batch of water was bad, as I only noticed the bleaching after the last water change. All corals are opened and happy thou.
