I would bank on the bio-pellets being the issue....my lights are on from 10am to midmight between the actinics and daylights and you know what my coral looks like.....I think your sps went through nutrient shock not over exposure to light.....

Something that I don't get about this is that I still have all kinds of algae growing in my fuge and I do still have a slight amount of turf algae in my display.

How deep is your display and how high are you lights off the water there Doug?


And to be honest, I didn't think they looked bad......I went from brown SPS's to pale (with color)

I'm going to try and get some better pic's with the white balance set as close to right as I can.

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.

Well....what the heck, mine is 20" as well and I have had mine at about 5-1/2" off the water.
