Buggered up at the starting post

Just got a new LED system, upgrading from 2 x 18watt T8's from the planted tank days.... Used the same 12 hour all guns blazing routine and now have very white Coraline and a few very pissed clove polyps...

To make it worse I did read several of your posts in terms of schedule before hand! Which for some reason I just ignored.....

Bummer, but lesson learnt.

 

Actinic now on at 12pm through 10pm.

Main white 4pm through 9pm..

 

Will my Coraline recover and go back to pink (I still see some colour)?

Some polyps have defo died off as they have turned hard white, and look like little "bulbs" as if they are opening..

Everything should bounce back provided the damage wasn't too severe.

Thanks, Coraline is back, a few small white dots but the colour us really coming on strong.. The general colour of the tank is much better due to the new lighting, I see stuff I never noticed before!

The green stars are pretty pissed with me though, the nat is still a good purple colour but the polyps won't open and look pretty down in the dumps....

They should recover. Gsp is darn hard to kill. Though I have done so before. >.>
