Sorry, that doesnt help at all. Please give your actual stats. If everything was good, whats happening to your corals? What type of leds? What are your running for flow?

What type of sps are we talking about? Typically they would be higher than middle...

5 gal is not enough for weekly water change you should do about 10 gals

Most causes for browning in SPS corals are a high amount of Nitrate/Phosphate. But also could be an imbalance or swing in calc/alk/mag or other trace elements, salinity level, temp, etc. Lots of reasons and this is why we ask for your tank stats. Something in your tank is not "good". At least as far as sps is concerned.

Hello and welcome aboard. How long have you had your led lighting, because sometimes switching to led lighting can burn your corals because they are so strong. The corals have to acclimate to them.
