Hello everyone, I need some help. Over the past few weeks my green montipora has started to look a little bleached out. I couldn't see the change from day to day, but after looking at an old picture it looks like crap. I am running 175w 14,000K metal halide, 24in T5 x2 and six blue LED lights. My tank is 45 gallons with 75 gallon rated sump with a fugium and protein skimmer. Water is pretty good, I think. Calcium is 430, KH= 11.2 Nitrates 0.5 and salinity of 1.026. The coral has been in the same place in the tank for over a year. I changed the lights 6 months ago. I also have really good water flow in that area. The texture has smoothed out and has lost a lot of that great green color. Any thoughts would be extremely helpful. Thanks
Before pic, nice green color and can see polyps
Green color looks bleached out and few polyps are extended
