I think my problems have more to do with the fact I haven't touched the tank in 8 weeks while doing home renos, water change day today hoping to turn things around.

Dave, you've got to get your priorities straight. The house your fish live in comes first; then you can tend to your house.

I think I figured out the biggest problem, the new beer fridge in the new shop! have more water on the go for another change, things may not be as bad as they looked once the glass got cleaned still, I lost some of my fav pieces, time to visit Marie so I can fill in the newly vacated spots.

That's good to hear; not about the lost pieces but that is it not as bad as thought.

Does a dark blue/purple Cali Tort turn green before bleaching? This coral has been losing colour since the middle of last month. Turning from blue to darkish green and now to a lighter, bright green colour. I've been moving it around the tank: less light; more light; less flow; more flow; but nothing seems to help. I've aready lost one SPS colony and several others are not doing well either.

There must of been some bad things floating in the powell river air.
I've never had my cali tort turn green but I did have a green acro turn purple when it bleached once. It regained its bright green colour again after a few months.

Yeah it's been a frustrating several weeks. Glad to hear your tank is on the mend though.

Do you guys not use R/O water?
Lance my Cali Tort is blue/purple but usually has some parts of it that turn green which I quite like as it adds a whole new dimension of colour to the colony, that said it has never turned all green and remains mostly blue/purple and it's just some of the branches in the lower light regions that get the green hues. Sorry to hear you're having problems. Any pictures so we can see what you mean?
