I just upgraded from pc's to t5's and now my Fiji isn't looking to good. Could it just be a coincidence, shedding,water parameters?

If anything post your water param. Also did you keep the leather at the top right after you added the upgrade lighting?

True elegans leathers like high light and high flow. Yours looks browned out if it's a real yellow leather.

I have a leather exactly like yours, and do not believe it to be a true yellow Fiji leather. Mine is about 12" below a 250w halide and it still stretches as close to the light as possible. I have high indirect flow over the coral and it seems to prefer this over lower flow conditions. It doesnt necessarily look unhealthy to me, might be a natural color change? Id wait and see what happens.

My yellow fiji (I don't know true or not) is yellow like lemon color. It sits at the spot with high light 250W MH and high flow similar as Jon mentioned. You may want to slowly bring it up. Cheers.

It may just be my new T5's. They do have a more blueish color compared to my previous pc

doesnt look like a yellow leather to me. but anyhow, ur leathers reaction could just be it adjusting to the new lighting. give it a few days, and it should open up like in the past.
