gsp uncontrolable, xenia everywhere, sps growing out the top of tank

my shroom hasent grown since i goty it over 3 months ago.....

 

i feel ya!!! my shrooms when i first got them, did split several times but the last year or two haven't done much since. they look good but not big or multyplying anymore.
i even have a hard time with zoas and palys. they open up for about 2 weeks then slowly decline and then they never open again and disappear....

seems i have the best luck with leathers, nothing to brag about because they don't grow either... they just look better than anything else i have. i do have a crocea clam that's doing pretty good. had it about 4 months now.

i guess easy ((beginner) corals is not for me... haha.... maybe i should try some gonipora... probably didn't spell that right but i think you know what i mean

 

Now that does sound frustrating. I almost threw in the towel after a go around with dino.

Corals do grow slow that is for sure. If you have not tried a duncan you might consider it same with acans. Feed them and they grow.

 

I couldn't get gsp to grow in my tank to save my life...i have some seemed to do good for like a month then died. On the other hand I have a multitude of sps that is doing quite well and growing(not like weeds). Growth isn't notable over a day or even week maybe month to month. I also have a hard time growing lps or any soft coral including mushrooms. I have a frog spam that is alive but not growing much. I don't really feed them that much though(the lps). My new plate coral I have been though.

Lol, I dont know if anyone has ever had a problem with kenya trees but I do! Started with 5 now I have 1! It absolutley does not grow. Looks the same as the day I got it---5 months ago... My LPS, SPS and Sun Coral though, grow like there is no tomorrow.

 

was it you corailline with the red planet growth shots, I think you are one of those super reefers with pics to back it up.

 

;D

No super reefers are those big boys on another forum. I am happy with my sps growth though.

 

corailline is a super reefer...corailline is a super reefer...haha

nice to see all the replies, glad i'm not the only failure out there lol!!!

corailline, you are a super reefer because you been here at 3reef for only 2 or 3 months and you have a gazillion catrillion 1million and 3 karmas already... wow you go girl!!!! now don't get mad cause i'm just playing with ya!!!!

it is funny though

 

It is all good ;D

When I think super reefer I think big tanks, big skimmers, big lights and big corals.

 

i think a super reefer is anyone that can grow any kind of coral, any time, any where, any tank big or small. someone who has success over and over, not by luck or fluke but because they know exactly what they are doing....

if there is any super reefers out there....you are my hero
