    Hello everyone.....

    Been gone for a while.... totally overwhelmed with my job at NASA. Don't know if you follow the news on NASA, but if you do and you've followed the chaos caused by the President's Proposed Budget, you know what I've been emersed in.

    My tank is doing well.... it's now about 7 months old. All parameters are good, nitrate a touch high at 5-10. Calcium 440, dKH 11, pH 8.2

    All the corals are doing wekk EXCEPT my Acans which are bleaching horribly.

    They are located in the top of the tank.... too much light???

    Advice appreciated.

    Try feeding them too to help them recoup, and yes, they are low light corals.
