Yeah, just not as intense yet. Mine is more spread out than all in one spot like that. I tried to scrape it off the rock while doing a w/c but it doesnt move. Some was grwing on my GSP but I gt that off with a toothbrush.
 
 
WHAT IS IT??

I have no idea. That's in my tank. I have it in a few different places. Some in high light and some in the low light. Are your corals bleached out? Not quite as puffy as they should be?

So the new bulbs came in! I ordered two sets of each bulb (4 bulbs), and only got 3! But they did undercharge me so I'm not sure yet if I'll contact the site and still complain. The invoice they sent to my email said should have gotten 4 bulbs, but they only charged me for 3 on my mastercard.
 
 
WISH ME LUCK! Hopefully the tank starts to turn around! There is a little tissue left on the FS so if it was the lights hopefully the FS will regrow.

What should I do?? Ive been starving the tank trying to starve out the things growing. I feed 2 times a week sometimes once. The clowns seem fine.

Mine "orange/rust" looking stuff looks more like a fluffy algae. But when I tried to brush the main colony of it off the rock it wouldnt come off, so it can be coraline.
 
 
I went to the LFS to test my water and they said my pH was a little low at 7.5 and my nitrites were high at 20. They also used test strips.. I'm going to check the parameters again now.

Well, you made me grab my test kit and check my tank. I'm on a rock solid 0 on trites, always have. I was kinda hoping we were in the same boat. I can't get any color out of my coral?? I shall remain in the dark LOL.
 
 
I hope you get it figured out. I would hate too see you tear down the tank.
