Hey all been a while since I hAd something new to post but I am having a bit of a problem. First let me give you the background my tank is a red sea MAxd 34 gallon. It is stock with all the original lights and such. My parameters:
Ammonia 0
Nitirites 0
Nitrates 0
Sg 1.26
Temp. 79
I do a 6 gallon water change each week with ro/di water from my Lfs . I recently bought a 3 headed Duncan frag it is doing ok but it seems the heads aren't opening fully. The "tentacles " are coming out but are short and rounded not long and flowing line some I have seen. I have the coral in the middle of the tank and it is getting medium flow. The thing that is confusing me is that at night, the arms are coming out fully at night when the moon lights are on. Do I have the coral too high in the tank? Should I move it down to the sand bed? I have been target feeding it every other day when I feed the rest of my tank and it eats a ton. All my other corals: frogspawn, gonoporia, hammer, toadstool, and mushrooms are all doing great. I really like this coral and obviously want it to do well I am just not sure what to do from here.
Thanks
