Hello to all,
I have a 65 gallon w/ 20 gallon sump reef that has been up and running for over a year now. I have had good luck with everything so far(knock on wood), no coral or fish deaths, but just haven't seen any growth to speak of with any of my corals. They just live and that's it. Some are not nearly as colorful as when purchased. This has been dissapointing especially in the last couple months because I have been trying everything. I have replaced my original t5 bulbs w/ giessman brand. I have built a custom canopy that has housed two par38 rapid led bulbs since christmas, along w/ the retro 156 watt t5's. I have ruitinely done 5 gallon water changes weekly and I target feed once a week. Is there something I should try doing?
Everytime I get my water parameters checked they are spot on.
My corals are xenia(has shown the only growth since purchased), gsp, frogspawn, fox tale, zoas, trumpets, open brain and a red cap.
Any ideas or questions about my system would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle
