Bleached anemones

[SNAKEMANVET]

I have 8 gbtas that all have turned white.They eat good and I also soak my food with selcon and feed twice a week.This has been going on for about 6 months.There is no change in color improving.They are in a 40 breeder with a 29 gallon sump.Water changes are 20% every 2 weeks.Bio load is small, only one pair of percs.I gave my rbtas to my friend to keep them from losing their color as well. Thanks David

And your lighting?

My lighting is a sunpod 36'' with 2 14k 150 watts.The lights are now about 7 months old, and are about 6'' from the water.

Water parameters? Have their been any recent changes--anything from adding GFO, carbon, new chemicals, new bulbs, skimmers, foods, etc.?

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

Water parameters are ok except for phos, I run rodi and have new filters and membrane.Phos is off the chart.I have ordered a phosoban reactor should be in somtime this week.I run a skimmer 24/7.I don't dose the tank with anything, only feed the fish flake food .Tank has approx 60lbs of live rock,and the fuge has 30lbs.I have a dsb of 5'' in display and 3'' in fuge.I will post a pic later.
