    Lighting question

    Matters what stage your tank is in. i made this mistake already, adding softies or corals while your levels are spiking might be a bad idea and a waste of your money. i would get your water tested especially if you are going through an algae phase. How big is your tank?

    what should i do to revive this?

    well i had the tank running with no life for about 3 weeks. then i added the live rock and i was luck enough to get some live rock with the coral already attached otherwise i would have waited. the live rock has been in for about 2 weeks it came pre cured. thats where things sit now.
