I’ve had an Aussie gold torch in my tank and has been doing fine till about a month ago. It went from Golden with purple tips to a pale yellow with white tips.

Parameters:
Ca- 430
KH- 8.5
PO4- 0
No3- 10
Mg- 1300
Lighting- 10x54 T5. Par at coral height = 210
Spot feeding 2x per week with - mysis, reef roids, pellets




Can’t figure out what’s causing the bleaching. Other torches look healthy.

Anyone experience Aussie golds bleaching before?

Some before and after pics attached.

How did you check your po4?
I think 0 po4 is very dangerous and this type of problems start to appear
