These days the watts per gallon thing pretty much goes out the window. Are these T5 bulbs or what?
For what it's worth, I made the switch from regular IO to Reef Crystals and did notice a change in growth, my duncan really started taking off...
Huh, interesting technique. The only problem is every one of my rocks has a coral on it and the vast majority I spot feed so finding a good spot...
I'll give that a try again. The only problem is keeping my stupid cleaner shrimp off of it while it's eating, have to find an empty two liter...
Alright, I tried to spot feed it today and it took some mysis. It didn't really open much more after the feeding but after the daylights went out and...
Good to hear that it's back on track, be sure to post pics when it comes in.
So it's going to arrive on schedule then?
Thanks guys, I'll give that a try. Karma to you.
So how would you recommend I go about getting it to open enough to spot feed?
I need it to open up enough to spot feed it first.
Thanks for the link, a lot of useful info on there. I think the only thing I'm doing wrong is being too clean. Like I said, mine is laying horizontal...
You know, I've actually been wondering why my ricordea isn't as bright as I've seen others be. Maybe my phosphate reactor could be to blame. I'm...
As for flow, there is a little. I mean it waved a little when it was open but it wasn't being blown around. So do you guys think I should turn off my...
It wouldn't be crabs as I don't have any. My hermits went on a snail killing spree so since then I've steered away from them.
What kind of coral is it?
You don't have anything bothering it during the day do you, a fish nipping, a shrimp climbing all over it, etc?
I've had my elegance for about 3-4 weeks now. For the first two weeks it was open fully and looked great. Now for the last two weeks it hasn't opened...
So last week I took in a head of my frogspawn coral for some store credit. The LFS I go to is mostly about softies, very little LPS, and no SPS so...
It didn't go carpet surfing did it? You said there was a gap where the overflow is, maybe it jumped and then flopped around a little on the ground....
Is the tank fairly new, if so then it's just a cycle. Check the bulbs, they will say what kind they are, i.e. 10K or actinic.
