SRC Member allantang Posted March 15, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted March 15, 2011 If I remember correctly, it don't need too much light. Some shade will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoVan Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I think bro there is no call for concern. The green will naturally return after your system has gradually stablises. Could be high nutrients; could be light. So long as there are good PE, give it some time. It will recover (: Anyway nice shape! Quote Happy Reefing, Marc J.
