LPS start to do badly after putting them near MH

[giantbicycle]

As above, after rescaping and decided to put my LPS(brain~lobo,BUBBLE's,star plyops) on the 1st level of my rock structure and getting the mots ammount of lights, All of them start not to open as compared to where i put them right below..My bubbles did not even open up for 5days and my brain seems to expose its skeleton..I thought putting them higher which will have direct lighting will make them open up but infact...they dont really show much at all..Whereas,my maxi(clams) is doing veri well..Btw,i am using a 250watt MH..why is my LPS on top not opening..The rest of my buttons , mushrooms, alvero,plate,glaxy...are all doing veri good..SO wads the problem..Pls advice..THANkx.

You did'nt acclimatize them to the sudden increase in light. Your LPS are literally getting burnt from the sudden increase in photosynthetic activity via oxidative stress. Move your LPS lower and wait for them to recover. You should only start moving them upwards once they have open up like before.

well infact LPS dont need so much light as in MH...

they wil do fine in the mid and lower section.. leave the top for sps if there is any..

Meanwhile to help them recover you could decrease your photoperiod by maybe 2-3 hours. Increase it back to the photoperiod you were using over a period of weeks.

yesh,will leave the top deck for FutureSPS..

okie Fuel, will reduce the photoperiod this few days to let the LPS have proper acclimatization first.. Hopefully,my LObo will return back to its reddish round shape..
