    Congrats on the adds, Frogspawn likes medium low flow, if the polyps look bent from the flow it is definitely too much. Good luck!

    Move it? Or move your powerheads? If it is fully extended and not seeming to recede it is probably okay. They usually like pretty low flow IME.

    by full extinction i would have to say yes it looks like it did before he cut it off of his piece it was a huge piece and in the bag and 1-2 hour after i dipped and glued it looks like it originally did i will move the ph as i dont want to re glue it and have to cut it off

    Sometimes the best advice would be to just let it be and monitor it, it will let you know if it is not happy. Each tank is different so I couldn't really tell you to move it or not, but they definitely lean towards the lower flow spectrum. Sounds like its doing well, so I personally would just leave it, and keep a close eye in case of any changes.

    LOL, no worries. We were all there @ one point. I get nervous as can be every time something goes wrong.
