My Acro's are all turning brown
Not sure what is happening but all of my acros are turning brown and losing their color. Any idea what is happening and can I stop it?

usually when corals brown out it is because of excess nutrients in the tank or insufficient lighting. Post up your parameters and your lighting setup, that may give us a better idea.

Post your water parameters but i am guessing high nitrates or phosphates.

It's a bad sign to see such a vague question about such "picky" coral.

The only thing that has changed over the last few months is that I have grown Caluerpa in my frag tank,which is tied into my DT, and I have not been trimming it back. Could that somehow be the cause?

It would help us help you if we knew your tank parameters & lighting.

My understanding is that Caulerpa need to be trimmed back or they start releasing stuff into the tank.
