DAY 317

After leaving the blue lights on for some time, I still found most of the sps showing poor polyps extension and colour. So I finally switched on the white lights and due to the sudden increase in white lights, the sps and some of my Yuma mushrooms bleached out.

Initially, I ruled out high phosphates as the possibility since I added lots of new Rowaphos in the Phosban Reactor. However, I still found lots of algae growth and turning on the white lights made it worse. Even my Clove Polyps were covered with lots of strands of green filamentous algae and refused to open up. Without a Yellow Tang, it does appear that the phosphates is an issue that I need to address.
