Hi there, we had some problems with our power source and the radion has been off for about a week. It's been a busy week and hadn't noticed it so restored the power and the BTA's wont't open back up to their glory. Currently I moved it to a power head to try to get it moving, and then they just started to blow up. The aqua store folks said I should leave them alone and they'll be fine but we're impatient is there anything I should do or just put them back and leave them be? Thanks in advance, we took a water sample to the aqua store and everything is fine and we did a 15 gallon water change just for arguments sake since we were there. It's a 65 gallon drilled with a 35 gallon sump that's funny it looks like everyone wanted to get in that picture lol there's another damsel and a rasp that are hiding. Thanks for any tips, and have a good one -Steve

Greetings! Did you gently ramp the lighting back up? Or just resume where you left off?
I would reduce white light intensity now and gradually raise back up over the next 3 days. Other than that, leave it alone and let it sort itself out.
I decided to go 10% a day for 10 days on the white unless you think it may stress out the fish but they don't look like they mind. The tang usually let's us know right away if he's angry. The clowns are actually nursing the nems, here's a link to my one drive it was too big to upload here:

Started to bleach due to the fluctuations of your tank. Once a nem bleach its almost impossible to get the color back. Keep a stable tank and feed it more if it will take. Hopefully the color will come back. Good luck.
