![]() Nick, you might be on the right track.
I put the Tek Light on the tank and fired 2 of the 4 bulbs on for about three days, then put all bulbs on. Corals dying over time has always been an occurrence for me. Corals just won't do well for some reason. |

![]() Have you always had that problem? Corals slowly dying?

![]() Yup. Some live (GSP, donut, gorg, scolymia). Others die.

![]() I'm guessing its either lighting, or something in the water your not testing for. What kind of water are you using?

![]() Interesting. But your fish thrive?

![]() Yeah. I've had a pair of percs for a year, a Lubbock's wrasse and some other fish that show good signs of health. I won't list the others for the sake of avoiding a debate about my fish husbandry.
I recently had an outbreak of hair algae too, does that mean anything? |

![]() I suspect that you probably have a water quality issue. The corals that you say seem to do well for you are ones that tolerate a less than pristine environment. If you have a large fish bioload you are going to have nutrient issues with your water. It's not a big deal but you have to decide what you want more - lots of fish or more delicate coral.
