How close is to close for your lighting to be to your corals. My lights sit directly on the tank (2x4 seperates the fixture from the glass). I think this may be causeing some issues for my corals. Some of my corals are hurting and they haven't gotten better. I intially thought my paramters were off but all test are zero excpet for SG 1.026 and PH 8.2, Calc is 400 (I know it's low) and Alk is 11 DKH. Which all fall under normal parameters. So again how low is to low.

P.S. all of the trouble corals are SPS but there are some that are doing well.
