Pale Coralline

SSalty · 03/25/2008, 06:48 PM

Over the past 6 months my coralline has turned to a light purple, rather than the normal, dark purple. Its not that the coralline has stopped growing, because it is growing like crazy on my back glass, etc... My tank is filled with a mixture of SPS and LPS. The only supplement that I have been dosing is Kalk (pickling lime). I am using T5 lighting.

What could be causing this?

Thanks

Are the T5s new over this time period? I think a common trend in all vegetation seems to be that as light gets more intense, the vegetation's color becomes lighter...

Yes, they are new to this system. The T5's have been over the tank for about 6 months.
