Bleached frag

[Scubajoe1]

So I think I may have made a rookie mistake here and wanted confirmation. I was having some problems with my SPS not having the vivid colors I had when I first got them. Lot of advice on here suggested either too low of nutrients which I have stopped my biopellet reactor. Now my nitrates are about 1.5 ppm as opposed to 0. I also upped my radion Pros Gen 3 from 50% max to 60% max. I did this over the course of a couple days only. I went on a dive trip to Nicaragua and came back to find one of my frags completely bleached. Did I up the LEDs too fast? I use the Apec controller so I don't beleive there is any acclimation mode using the Apex.


I assume once it's bleached it pretty much done for?

Thanks

Joe

Is it bleached or did it lose tissue? If it lost tissue, it's dead. If it's bleached and still has it's polyps, take the advice above.
