Havin trouple gettin softies to grow?

I was having a little problem with algae but its gone now. Ill leave the carbon in for another 2 months then ill take it out..

Thanks for help Corailine!

 

NP,

I can see going mostly LPS and softie. More types and the LPS like acans, duncans can grow really fast with target feedings.

Sps can be PITA, things can go even a little haywire and bam you have tissue loss, and they are expensive to purchase and maintain if your dosing, blah blah......

 

Yes i agree..I only have a little and i swear, 2 months of growth on the monti cap and then a little cleaning SNAP! back to start with a .5 inch peice...FML...hahah.

 

Are your softies close to something that would be causing it stress? My red Mushrooms will get about the size of a silver dollar while the blue Mushrooms (on the same rock) will stay close now as they are too close to my Acans. Maybe the tank is overstocked and they are unable to open up due to the neighbors they have. I have to start moving some of them out of the bio cube and into the main tank.:-/

 

Yes I just started back to nearly zero with 2 sps frags, I have been growing since Sept. Now because of what ever issue I nearly lost both pieces after months of babying, very frustrating. Some sps grow pretty darn fast but not like a lot of LPS. I got my Duncan in Sept I believe, 4 heads, now probably 30, no sps can compare to that growth rate.

 

I agree...Much more entertaining and interesting..I like the look of SPS, but at the same time..Like you said there isnt a whole ton of moveement goin on.
