I purchased some new corals from Divers Den last week and I was wondering how long it would take to see colors come back. In the interest of full disclosure my tank is a 120 with a 40 sump and is 5 months old. My lighting system is two 54 watt Actinic blue T5 and two 250 watt 15K
XM bulbs powered by Lumatek 250/400 ballast inside a lumenMax fixture. My current water parameters are AlK- 8.6, Calcium-440, Mag-1350, SG-1.025 and temp 78-79 degree. The corals I purchased are Aussie Scrolling Monti, Bushy Acropora, Kaleidoscope Brain, Reverse Superman Monti, Blue Gomezi Acropora, and Blue Polyp Acropora. All the corals have color but they are very dull. I was just wondering how long on average new corals take to adapt to their surroundings. If I get a chance I would post pictures so you can see what I am talking about.
