    my 0.02.

    Concentrate your efforts on water chemistry and bugs

    1. Alk
    2. Rate of Alk change of the day
    3. Look for bugs at day and night time
    4. Mag Levels - Required to maintan your alk level
    5. Calcium to be in the appropriate range

    You lighting does affect corals but I dont think causes death. It causes the corals to loose color or gain color - And under prolonged over/under lighting can cause death.

    Untill you identify your root cause dont make too many changes other wise it will cause your SPS to RTN.

    I hope it helps.

    Are your other corals turning brown or white? If they're turning white (usually with bright fluorescent polyps) they're getting too much light. Browning usually indicates a water parameter problem or too little light.
