seem like it's inadequate? I did a tank swap a couple of days ago & my corals took a big hit on color. Understandable considering the stress, but they were kept at regular temp & w/ flow for the interm.
Beofre they were 12" under a 150w phoenix & had great color & OK growth. Now they're 20-24" under a 250 phoenix & they look horrible. Not even the LPS on the sand are responding well. Is it because it's being driven by a M58? It couldnt be that bad, could it.
How long before I swap it out for a 400w? I dont want all my corals to brown out Ive seen numerous 2' tanks with great color/growth under 250's, but they all semm to be under 10k's. I want my color back! Should I upgrade to a 250 lumenarc SE or a 400 and be done with it?
