    based off of what youve told me and if nothing else has happened my best guess would be changing salts played a part, the age of your bulbs are a hard call without a par meter, but if they arent putting out what they should be then changing the salts would have a greater affect.

    acros dont like change, so when you changed salts there could have been a spike.

    here are somethings that can and will cause rtn and bleaching:
    sudden temp change
    heavy metal corrosion in your water column.
    sudden change in salinity
    sudden change in pH

    there are more but ill get a hand cramp typing, heres a site for ya
