Help what is happening to my bta

[tazzette]

I woke up and found him like this what is happening

 

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

It's bleached and dying. Couple of questions for you:

- How old is the tank?
- what are your parameters and have they been stable?
- what lights are you running?

My tank is fairly new, about 6 months old. All parameters are normal and have a bit of problems with nitrate,it keep going up and down not steady. Only thing I know about the lighting. That it is a full spectrum.

What light is it? Likely not sufficient enough.

What light is it? Likely not sufficient enough.

It is possible. The lights aren't strong enough, so I put 2 it up. It seems to help a bet for the other coral and the bubble tip seems to react because it was about to fall off its spot and now it's back up on the corner of it.

What light is it? What brand and model?

GAMALIA

GAMALIA

I assume you mean Gamalta? If so, that is a freshwater light not capable of keeping marine photosynthetic animals.
