Adidas, I thisnk the reason they were starting to bleach is for two reasons. the first being that I upgraded from a 14K 250 watt to a 10K 400 watt system. Because of the spectrum change it equivilated to about a 300 watt jump, bad news. The other thing that I learned from fellow Canreefers is that higher intensity lighting speads up the metatbolic rateof corals. So you must increase your supplimentary dosage, and I couldn't keep up in the end. Since I went back to the 14K spectrum my corals have much more color.
It seems there is a bit of interest in my zoos! I'll try to post closup pics for everyone interested. In the meantime I'll repsond to PM's. Greg, I'd hardly call it a mother colony but ya, thats the one.
