The most important cause of the coral's browning

[frank88]

If we find a little brown corals .. mainly on what we need to improve?
In your experience, what causes more browning of corals?

 

[ryshark]

My vote is for all of the above

 

[Aegir]

Nitrates too high in my experience

 

[ireefn]

Tank maintenance and keeping everything in check along with water changes(regular that is). I voted other

SPS needs stability of system and all that has been mentioned above. ...
it all needs to be met to get good results.

I don't think you can point to one issue for browning, because there are potentially lots of causes. The most important one is the one that applies in a particular case.

If you have elevated nutrient levels, and browning as a result, then that's the most important cause in that case.

If you have a lack of lighting, and browning as a result, then that's the most important cause in that case.

And so on...

yes, but usually the most common cause ... what is it?

Change in environment.

Nitrates over 20 and mine start going brown. 10 to 15 for me and they look great. Stability is key with anything though. I keep it consistently at this level, or at least try, and it works out just fine for color and health IMO. I feed heavy to both corals and fish.

+1...............Jackpot!
IMHE think those two are the most cause, follow by others....
