All corals are closed?!

[Bizzy bee reef]

I just got a new light on my 30L and I lowered the intensity after I saw them close up but they still won’t open. everyone is closed up and I just did a water change yesterday what is going on?

 

[IKD]

What did you switch from and to? Probably just need to give them time to adjust.

 

[Lowlandreef]

How long are they closed for right now? They might be a little in shock if your new light is way brighter. Make sure your new light is a little dimmed for now, and give the corals some time to adjust to it

They have been closed for about three days and I have got two ai primes but I have adjusted them both down to like 38 percent intensity. Yea thank you so much it’s a lot of money to be loosing.

Three days seems like a pretty long time if you ask me, not that I know too much about this. Maybe there's a different reason why they are closed. Are all your water parameters good?

Yes all my parameters are good. I think it may be the light I turned it down now it’s just hopefully they come back.

30L tank is 7.9 gallons, I hope you do not have 2 AI primes on it at 38%. You need one AI prime at like 20% for an 8 gallon tank. Did you mean 30 gallon?

It must be the light then indeed. If I remember correctly there is an acclimation mode on the AI app, you could try it out so the corals can slowly get used to the new lights. Btw I love the AI lights, great choice upgrading to them!

Yes IM 30L 30 gallons. No way that’s a waste of money at that point

It won't hurt them to turn the lights waaaaay down for a day or two to see how they respond.

Yep

When changing lighting, corals must re-regulate their zoo process to the change, the larger the change in PAR, the longer it will take and that varies with different corals.

If your water is perfect, just be patient, give them a full week, you should start to see some open more soon.

Thank you so much. Your tank looks amazing
