hey everyone, i had a125 that the stand collapsed i had to find me an emergency tank which was a 75 hex front.i had to get it, finding my stand would take weeks so i was told. i bought the new tank complete. my old tank had MH but was much to long for the new tank. so i decide to try flourescent bulbs until i could afford some customized MH. i have two natural daylights an one o3 bulb. for the first week the corals seem to be doing good. then i noticed my colonies standing up like there starving for light. my sand is turning brown like ive never seen before. i closed all blinds in the living room thinking maybe there could be sunlight getting through. my photo time is from 3pm till 11pm. the only thing i can think of is maybe the bulbs are bad already. there one month old.
