Browning corals

So unique corals is the US distributor of Triton. So anywhere you buy triton kit it goes to unique corals and they now have a icp unit in LA that does the test's so nothing is sent to Germany any more.
 
Quick update. I have swapped out my led light board for a SB Reef light board and have for owed their suggested lighting schedule. Without changing anything else, I am noticing much better coloration beginning to come back to my acros. I'm still dosing and feeding as before while maintaining my original water parameters. Still don't have a par meter, but the slow ramp up to the higher intensity and now the led upgrade and I'm starting to see some really exciting results. Lights are off for the night but I'll post some pics soon.

Doh! No light meter at all???

Does that mean no before and after lux or PAR readings at all???

No par, can't afford it. Lux levels before were 15500in the center, 5500 perimeter. I've since raised my light but I creased intensity. Plus the new board has a combination of 90 and 120 degree lenses. The new board also has a better spectrim. I'm now getting 18000-18500 center and 11000 perimeter. I'm going to leave it like this for awhile.
 
As long as you have decent nutrient levels in the system (browing corals would suggest so!) that looks like a respectable increase to me. Good plan! :)
