Are T-5's bleaching my Ric's

[ezhoops]

Just wondering if this happens. I've bought a blue ricordia from LFS and since its been added to my tank it has lost its color. Its slowly bleaching. The lfs keep it under halides and I have T-5's. I have it near the bottom of the tank.

any ideas?

I doubt it's bleaching from the T5s. It may be bleaching from the transition to them from the halides. Try placing it higher up then gradually moving it down

Depends on your setup of t-5s, you could have 6 bulbs or 2 bulbs, ya know what i mean ha.
