brown out & colour in

Here's a coral that's had an interesting transition over the past year.:snshne:
I bought it from a reefer who felt it just wasn't nice enough for his tank. I think I got the better deal.

Nice!
What lighting did HE have? What are you using? Where the pictures a gradual change or did you change your lighting along the way also?

Maybe his nitrates were too high. Nice job bringing it back Snap!

Wow! If they get ANY brighter your tank is going to EXPLODE!! Very nice looking corals.

Thanks everyone. The previous owner had 2x 400w lights on a 125 gal tank. I had changed my lights from 3x175w moguls to hqi 3x250w 10k with 2x150w 20k about the same I got the coral so that doesn't factor into the equation. He ran a rowaphos reactor so I doubt his nitrate were high. In fact his tank only had about 4 fish and 7 corals so there wasn't much of a bioload. I just think he never really gave it a chance and little TLC.
