    Hello 3 reef!! I have had some of my corral for about a year, they all seam to be in good health eating and even growing, but some seamed to have lost some of ther brightness. Is there any suggestions on anything i can do or am not doing to counter this?

    What types of corals?
    And what are your phosphates/nitrates?

    If things are bleached (turned white or vary pale) then you have too much light.

    Also, I do hope you are aware of the caveats with keeping a sea apple.
