My green plate is fading in color. It was a dark green now it is a pale green. It continues to show good growth and has great PE all day long. I thought bleaching but it came from a 12 gallon tank with 150 MH to a 90 gallon with T5. Could it really be bleaching? The coral has been in this...

I have been testing my mag to see what my level sits at and I am consistently sitting at 1160. I have been reading that your mag should be at a cretin level compared to your SG. My SG is 1.025 which by what I am reading my mag should be at 1270. as far as my other parameters. I keep my Ca @...

Last weekend I got a mandarin and I haven't seen it since. I have fed the tank live brine yesterday but still haven't seen it. I assume this is characteristic of them? But my other concern is if it dies because it isn't eating will the hidden carcass nuke my tank if I cant get it out before...

I have only three fish in my 90 right now. 2 clowns and a hippo tang. My question is what would Ich look like. My tang is eating good but I think I see a couple of white dots on her. Bu she is so quick and hides so much I can't get a close look. But again it is hard to tell because I also have...
