What's up fellow reefers. I had 2 wells brain in my tank that where doing great up till the frag swap I bought another wells and since then none of then have open and nothing has changed in my tank. In fact my tank has never done better than now and all my test levels are great. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. Please help

*** oh and I forgot to add that the new wells I got will only start to swell at night when the lights go off

I have a 93 gallon cube with DIY 3 watt LED.
Thanks for reading the post

need to give us info on lighting it happens if the lighting are different from the ones from fish store it swells at night for feeding or because your lighting it may be a bit strong or just different spectrum!! dose a little iodine and give a chance !!

Well I have a DIY LED set up. Their is 96 3 watt LED and I now only have them all at half way all the coral seem to like it better as well as the 2 original wells I had and now when i try to put the lights higher the well look worse and the rest of my coral don't look as good to. Someone told me more current so I added another power head but it did nothing.

When you say "starting to lose" what exactly is happening ?

I have one that completely detached from it skeleton, however it eats. I'm hoping it will grow a new skeleton.

When I say loosing it I mean dying. And I have had no crash what so ever and the LED' I had for a year now and I do have lots of blue but never had a problem till now and its only the wells doing bad everything else is doing great I have lobos, scolys, zoo's and all types of sps and lps and all r doing great.

pics of 2 of the wells

the big big green and red one is the one i have had for at least 6 months and had no problems


most people know that you mean dying. we need some clarification as to what exactly the coral is doing. Is it losing color, is the tissue receding, is it detaching from the skeleton, etc.
