    that's normal with new lights. The cloraline will come back in time once its gets used to the new lights.

    +1 on above , I upgraded my lighting in Feb and the coralline on the P/Heads and top back edge of glass started turning white, 2 months later, I now have a couple of small patches of new growth in the same areas
