Apr 21, 2010 #4 yote In Memoriam How about light and waterflow? What kind of lights was it under at the store?
Apr 21, 2010 #5 Sunshine Reef enthusiast I have T5's. 6-54 watts. It's on the sand bed. I have no idea what the LFS lights are. The flow is moderate where it's at.

Apr 21, 2010 #6 Melosu58 Reef enthusiast Just wondering is that a crushed coral substrate? They prefer a sandy substrate. Also the tank looks darker in the second pic.

Apr 21, 2010 #7 Sunshine Reef enthusiast No, it's a mixture of black and white sand. It's probably the lighting on the camera. It looks almost white with a pink rim around it. It has lost all the dark purple that it had on the edge. My camera isn't the best.

Apr 22, 2010 #9 S steelcity Reefing newb Put it in a cave/shaded area. Color will return slowly. Feed at night when it's open to help it out.
Apr 22, 2010 #11 Bifferwine I am a girl Yeah, I agree with steelcity -- it looked bleached and white in the first pic as well.
Apr 22, 2010 #12 dcantucson Reef pro I agree. Looks like it went from bad to worse. Don't know if you can turn it around. :(
