Hey,
Here is my full tank shot. My Nano is still a work in progress. I would like more color in my tank what other corals can I introduce? I was thinking putting:
Blue mushroom
yellow polyps
yellow or orange rics
Let me know what you think and where to place them.

What makes coral bleach? I have noticed some of my other corals losing color and I am concerned. Is it a lack of nutrients? I just do a water change 2 times a month and add a little kents vita chem onece a week. What should I do?

ususally its from not having strong enough lights.
but also from having bad water chemestry.
u need to add iodine, calcium, marine trace, magnesium about once every 2 weeks after u do the water changes.

Get a tester kit first, then start dosing on the things that are low.
But if you have good salt a water change brings levels up.
Also you can try increasing your water change schedule and the amount you change. How much water do you change those two times a month?

Thanks for the reply guys.
I have a 14gal so when I do a water change I take out about 2 gal.
As for the bleaching I've heard that high temperatures could cause it to occur. I think this is my case because my temp has been over 84 degrees for a while now. During the summer the temp in my room is very hot. I try to keep a fan near by but on really hot days it does not help.
aquaguy24, My PH is at 8.2 and yes the color of my monti is a yellowish green. The color changes at different angles.
