Tank params:
temp 77
salinity 1.025
ph 8.1
calcium 400
ammonia 0
nitrate 0
nitrite 0
phosphates 0
carb. hard. 100

Giesemann T5 HO Bulbs
- 4 aquablue
- 2 actinic
age-2 months

2-Koralia 3 pumps

I temp. acclimated in bag for about 30 min. & then added some tank water and allowed to sit for another 30 min. then added to tank.

I have no corals in direct flow and none are touching one another and they're not anywhere near any lps.

The polyps do show during day & night so I guess that's good. I did notice something else though and maybe it's just a barnacle? it's not easy to see but it's on the right of the coral and this is the area that's turning white
