sps bleaching?

[oneradtek202]

so, i thought of another idea that might have contributed. But im not too sure. I know alot of SPS can be out of water fora few minutes, but for a few water changes ive been having a majority of my sps out of water for about 10- 15 minutes at a time. i wonder if that did it too?

Don't know. I've never done that but I'll go with Gary's experience with it.

So after a few weeks of keeping my temp from swinging too much(darn spring), and using sodium carb once again, AND adding more nutrients to the tank (feeding twice a day, and no water change last week)....i have started to see quite a turn around in the bleached SPS in my tank. i think im going to start doing every other week water changes of 10 gallons and feeding twice a day now that i have a nice skimmer

I was wondering how long it would take for you to see the turnaround

 

[oneradtek202]

yea about now lol

some are turning more than others, my Efflo is getting nailed by my RBTA , so thats kind of hurting the color of that. Any ideas for that Gary? lol im just gonna let nature prolly take its course and hopefully just the base of the colony will be destroyed and spare the top

over time

wherever anemone tentacles brush the Acro it will get some tissue necrosis
