Well just a quick update from last night:
I got home and at that time the low output LED strips had been running for 2hrs.
Everything looked horrible, worse that it did Tuesday night. So I raised the MH fixture about 4 inches and put my old bulb back in to see if anything would cheer up.
After waiting about 2hrs with no noticeable improvement I decided on doing a large water change. I made this decision because even with the bulb being the likely cause of all this there has definitely been some die off all around and that in turn had most likely had an impact on water quality. So I performed a 40% water change.
I feel I have done all I can at this point...I will just have to wait and see what pulls through.
Right now the LPS do still show signs of life, even though they have very little PE.
The acros have about 80% tissue loss on average. The other SPS are definitely damaged but have shown SOME PE.
Of course the cheapest and least important coral I have ..Mushrooms, Ricordea, xenia, and GSP all seem to be doing fine.
Both fish, all 3 snails and my hermit are all fine as well.
I will update the thread later with how things turn out.
I appreciate everyone’s input and advice.
