These still aren't perfect......I'm having a hell of a time with how blue my lights are now and getting the camera to show what I'm seeing

But....I know I haven't got the best color....but do they really look bad enough for me to be paranoid about?





this one looks alot paler do to the glare from the lights






Well....no now that I look all the pic's......the colors are way more vivid in person....maybe I should try again after the day lights turn off

To me they look quite bad but I am used to see corals with loads of colors, here are some of mine. Maybe that's because I am used to dark and very saturated SPS.

Daniella, your sps corals are looking fabulous with amazing color I can't believe they had been poisoned from Kent carbon before... I highly doubt about it
Half of mine are still struggling with their color, especially all the blue and purple ones.

some of these pics were before the poisoning, but they are recovering slowly. The aqua SPS is more green now but it is recovering the blue slowly. All the blue in the coral disapeared with the copper, but it is slowly coming back.

But the purple one was never affected by the copper and look as good today as it did before, strangly. Some SPS bleached completely and died.

The first pic is right before the poisoning and the last pic is the same coral a few weeks ago, like 2 months after the poisoning.

It was the same for me and the blue was most affected and it is the hardest color to get back now. The blue dragon is now all brown.

Ya, if they were mine, I'd worry about it.
