Browning or loss of color (but not bleaching) is a sign of to much light.

Thank you!! I moved it to a corner of my sandbed.

Positive update since I mainly post questions / trials and tribulations.
Everyone is eating except my perchlet. Chalice grew noticeably but not in the best color. Test 9.99 acro has maintained good PE for 2 weeks now and the tips are turning white indicating growth. Goni is growing new heads! I've stopped losing fish and corals.

CFM haul: @Srt4eric's indo gold torch I split with @Ragglefraggle, branching cyphastria, green/blue goni and purple goni from Cali Kid, a rainbow mini goni, and a bubblegum digi! I'll post some pictures once they have PE.

of course not! Is anyone ever happy with their tank?

Yes, every day I wake up and see the happy fish and coral it makes me happy.

Woke up and I’m missing a clownfish. Aggressive one is still there so I think she chased her tankmate out of the tiny gap in my lid again. I’ve searched all around the floor and inside my tank, including the filter.
Clearwater is out of frostbites for a month, bummer.
I think I’ll rehome my aggressive clown and get a pair of new ones. Anyone want 1 frozen frostbite clown?

If you're interested in basic coral photography, I cannot recommend the Icecap lens kit (or something similar) enough: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/clip-on-photo-lens-kit-icecap.html . It's $35, but makes capturing pictures of your tank so much better.
I got one from @musclebenz last year and that made a HUGE difference. I wish I'd bought one a lot earlier.

This is the one I use. Slightly lower cost and works well.

Never tried this, but they have lens attachments with interchangeable filters.

Grab a lens swatch book so you can find the exact filter color to match your spectrum.
