Will it bleach?

Hey!

Moving to a new tank and am worried about my live rock...
Going from a 55 gallon shallow tank, 18 inches high with bleak old 6x24 inch white/antinics to a 56 gallon deep tank, 25 inches high with 2x150 watt HM... got about 60 pounds of lr to move, good n purple... how will they hold up under new lights, tanking in account of deeper depth?

Old and busted vs new and hotness... will it bleach?

And they are 20 000 k, nice and blue to cut though the depth..

Not sure, I would think it might bleach a bit at first ... you might want to 'ramp up' your photo period to acclimate.

It may bleach but then again it may do well under the new lights. In any case if your rock does bleach it will come back quickly. I grow plenty of corline under my 2 150 watt HQI lights.
