Well for no reason tonight this piece, my chips acro up and bleached. I was able to salvage a few frags off of it, but I am not so hopeful that the frags will make it.

It sucks because it had grown A LOT, heres a picture of it after I first got it.

Aww Matt sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will come back around. Any guesses why?

That's to bad. Wish my chips acro had a darker base like yours. Thanks for the equipment list also.

No, no real cause as to a reason why.... My guess would be an alk swing, I had not dosed kalk in a couple days and started that morning. Maybe the Alk was too low. I know they are sensitive to large Alk swings.

Anyways, I traded a piece of a chalice I have for another piece of the chips to a local reefer!
