DarkStarReef Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Ever since i switched from 20watt fixture to a 65watt fixture the coralline aglae on my live rock is turning white. Is the coralline algae dying or does it just need to get used to the brighter light? Link to comment
chazde3 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Coralline grows better in lower light. Yours is probably dieing due to the light, but it should come back eventually. Link to comment
supreme_spork Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Coralline algae is very sensitive to changes in lighting and tank chemistry and easily bleaches. It will come back. Link to comment
Jasong Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I recently switched from the stock PC lighting on my 24g Aquapod to a 250 watt sunpod. Obviously, that is quite a change. I have had a little coraline die off on the areas in direct light. In other areas I am starting to see more coraline growth. My only concern for your tank is how much die off did you get? If you got more than just a bit (whatever that means), it could be something else. How are your parameters? Calcium? Nevertheless, I would just keep up with your water changes, and you will have coraline everywhere shortly. Link to comment
