Greywolf Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi Bros, I have a Bali Star Polyps for three months and I realised that the luminuos green colour is slowly fading away and turning white. Can anything be done to restore the colour ? can the intensity of the light affects the colouration ? Thanks !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Sotong Posted November 22, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hi all Have the same experience... Nonetheless, after replacing old tubes & shifted the polyps to a more intense area, colour is slowy coming back... (not as white as before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Polyps Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Star polyps does not require high intensity lighting, moderate lighting eg.mushrooms is already good enough. Your tank might also be running low on iodide or other elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 hmmm.. iodine.....hmmm...maybe hor. Can try this weekend and see whether can recover or not. Any other additive would you recommend ? For info, I am running two 10k T5 - HO and one Actinic NO Tube. THANKS !!!!

SRC Member Venezia Posted November 23, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 23, 2005 for iodine, only dose 1 drop daily.If u missed a dose do not double-dose or u will over-dose . "less is more, more is less" too much iodine is toxic. IMO, the better brand is tropic marine iodine , 1 bottle $20 but last quite long due to the fact tat only 1 drop is used each time. Sally Jo of GARF recommends the addition of Seachem Reef Plus.. Her tank is over -grown with softies, and sps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
