Bought it from Fish 4 U. Not sure on the previous lights. I have had it for probably 9-12 months. My lights are described in the first post. Ill look into the "browned out". Thanks

I could be completely wrong but it looks like it might be "browned out." what kind of lights did it come from and what lights are you using?]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2011 14:36:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52953&PID=442402&title=redgreen-favia-now-red#442402 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52953&PID=442401&title=redgreen-favia-now-red#442401 Author: GaryF

Maybe rusty red... The red looks the same to me when I bought it. ]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2011 14:32:08 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52953&PID=442401&title=redgreen-favia-now-red#442401 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52953&PID=442399&title=redgreen-favia-now-red#442399 Author: BillyC

Is it red? Might just be the picture but it looks more brown?]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2011 14:21:35 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52953&PID=442399&title=redgreen-favia-now-red#442399 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52953&PID=442369&title=redgreen-favia-now-red#442369 Author: GaryF

Before: (with a DSLR, white balance is off)

After: (w/ iphone)


So the "whiteish" spot on it is where it came into contact with some hair algae.

Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone new why a red-green favia would lose most of its green pigmentation? Its growing well, and all the other corals in the tank seem happy. I had it (not directly) under a 150W MH (14000 K)  in about 32 inches of water. I have now moved it to another tank with 144 Watts of PC's (1/2 white, 1/2 actinic) under 15 inches of water. I test for NH3, NO2, NO3, PO4, Ca, and they are all with in parameters. I know I probably should test for Mg, but I have been SeaChem's Mg additive with the "begginers instructions".

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gary
