browned acros - what happened?

[kirstenk]

Many , many SPS keepers run Phosban and carbon 24/7. I would suggest you do the same. Get your PO4 down to less than .03 but do it slowly. Change your carbon weekly for now. Good Luck.

Phos .25

Phosphate should be below .05 to prevent browning.

I wouldnt worry about nitrates, especially 2-3ppm.

Why not, some of the most colorful SPS tanks I've seen have been under 6500k's with VHO?

I agree. You can get GREAT color with 6500s, you just need clean water.

If your water is yellow, everything will look yellow under 6500Ks, whereas under 15000K, it will look blue.

If your water is clear, 6500K is pretty close to white. Its basically as close to daylight as you can get.
