IndyPerk Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I have a 28G Nanocube and my brain coral might be starting to look bleached, or maybe it's just growing well. It's almost as low as I can get it in the tank. I have 14K LED lighting that I'm running 10 hours a day, all my other corals look good, but I can't tell about this one. Water perimeters are perfect and the brain coral is eating some mysis shrimp about every 3-4 days. Any advise from those with more knowledge then this beginner? Link to comment
Bingo1213 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 It is a little hard to tell from the picture as we do not have a pic from when you bought it but it may be bleaching. The best thing to do if you are worried about it is to move it to the shade for a week or so and see if it's color improves. Link to comment
IndyPerk Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 So on the back side of this coral it has started to grow on to the large live rock it was sitting on, plus I super glued it down. I'm concerned if I try to move it now I'll tear the coral and I'm not sure how easy it will be to break the super glue hold. I've lowered the daylight lights from 10 hours to 9 hours. Currently I run the sunset lights two hours before the daylights kick on and two hours after, I also leave them on with the daylight lights. So in other words they are on 13 hours out of the day. These are Actinic/466 nm. Should I maybe shut these off when the daylight lights are on? Link to comment
