Just got it about a week ago and it's starting to look brown and some of it even looks clear. Any idea what's going on? I have a Kessil H380 lamp for the refugium. It doesnt spin around in the refugium but I try to move it daily.
 
Either too much light, too close to the cheato or on too long. Possibly too low nutrients as well. I experienced this on my 220 with the cheato where I went down to 0 nitrates and had to start dosing Sodium Nitrate to get to color back up and grow.

What's a good amount of time to keep the light on you think?
