Struggling with Corals. Radion Problem?

How long is your total photo period? Are the corals (and you) happy with your current program?

 

Ramping up just blues 12-1PM, 1PM-3 45% 20K ,3-7pm50% 18k, then back down to 20k at 45%, 9-10pm fading out just blues

After some additional research, I'm thinking the GFO is the culprit...and not the lights. I've definitely been using ridiculously more GFO than I should be, which has potentially stripped the water of too many nutrients, causing too clear water and the subsequent rapid bleaching and/or receding. C/GFO are already off-line. I'm going to give it a week (or two) to see if things stabilize. Lights will also remain at a 40% peak until I can verify the GFO.

 

Been just over two weeks since I stopped C/GFO, and things appear to have stabilized. Hopefully that was the culprit. With such a light bioload there is no reason to run the reactor (very minimal algae). Probably give it another week and then slowly add some carbon passively. It will be nice to be able to start buying coral again....
