The coral that has tissue loss has only been in my tank for a few days....so I do suspect that it's due to stress from the move to it's new home....this coral is quite brown so I don't believe that it is bleached.

But now that you guys mention it I do noticed that alot of my SPS's are very pail. So I've backed my day lighting off to about 7 hours....but I can't help but wonder if the new bulbs will make a difference them selves in a few weeks...

My old bulbs were only 3 months old but for day light I had
1-6500k Giesseman
1-1000k Current
2-1400k Giesseman

And my new day bulbs

2-ATI 1200k

What promoted me to change out my not so old bulbs was this Article by CoralProps in witch he say's that some of the bulbs I was running had a tendency to brown out some corals and stress others.

My thought behind this is that I don't want to make to many changes all at once...then if something get's better or worse I won't know exactly what it was to change it.

What do you guys think?
