TheKleinReef Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 doing much better today. fed a ton, and it actually had a feeding response which is good. also moved the lights up 8" for a total distance off the water of about 14" and decreased the photoperiod 2H. https://flic.kr/p/msAfcD'> Quote Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Jumping in to see what solves this. I bleached mine even in the darkest part of my tank. It started coming back when I put it in a cave arch, but still pale. It also seems to like super low flow, almost a dead spot. I'm ordering Fauna Marin LPS pellets in hopes they give the best nutrition for recovery. Quote Link to comment

I'm ordering Fauna Marin LPS pellets in hopes they give the best nutrition for recovery. Hmm. That reminds me if my old brain. It loved slow flow, but I never ran into a problem with lighting. This brain came from an sps tank so it was really pale when I bought it. Now it's under much less light and seems to be coloring up. Let me know how those pellets work. I've been contemplating getting them for my LPS but haven't seen the need since I usually just spot feed mysis. Quote Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Cool. You're confirming my suspicion it's too much light. BRS seems to be out of the pellets and was hoping to combine shipping with reef chili. Darn. What are you feeding yours? The fish steal mysis right off it before it gets a chance to eat it.

I feed silversides. And I protect the brain from theives with a long algae scraper lol. It's time consuming but efficient. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 How long were you running your lights? Currently running the schedule on the first page. Can't remember the details specifically and I'm mobile so I can't check it shoul be something like 11H with 6 bulbs running only 4H. This tank is very cool love the lower scape Thanks Cameron! I've been debating on lowering the scape more but I feel it would limit the amount if hiding spots for the fish. On a side note the nem split again. So now I have 2 in each tank. Ahaha Quote Link to comment
