Lol it's ok stalker is harsh thread groupie sounds better...lol yeah I have a few new additions but there has been a lot of frustrations recently. Sps browning out. I have come to terms that I have a brown thumb for sps.. Making it rain in my wife's daycare in the basement prepping for a waterchange ooops. Skimmer offline for 4 weeks and my sand sifter trying to bury my new 6" plate coral.

I have added a false Moorish idol brown powder tang from jorjef, sail-fin tang scooter blenny. Just about done with the stock list just awaiting a convict tang and I am done fish wise. Then Concentrate on coral more. And home photo skills. Oh yes lastly I need to change my halide color I'm finding things too blue these days

Brown SPS ?
If I may suggest ....
Either cut your feedings down, or bump your filtration up
Too much food, IMHO, is the cause of brown SPS

I wish this was my problem
I bleached all my SPS from lack of food

I had major probs last winter with my SPS bleaching from lack of food
I doubled fish foods, added coral foods etc
Algae came on like a banshee, but the SPS are happy now
Just need to balance things ... find the tipping point between fish food and coral food to keep the critters happy and the algae down
