I’m new to coral and started with a frag of GSP from my LFS. Bought it almost 2 months ago and it looks great. Colorful and always out and moving in the currents all day. But after 2 months it doesn’t seem to have grown much at all, and I understand it’s supposed to be a fast grower. So after 2 months, should the growth be noticeable?
I replaced my lights a couple weeks ago because I was concerned i didn’t have adequate lighting. So I’m confident lighting is no longer an issue.
I do know my calcium level is a little low at 390 and I’m working on that. Could that be it, or is calcium not that critical for soft coral?
Other Parameters:
Salinity: 1.025
temp: 79
nitrate: <5 Maybe this is too low?
Phosphates: near 0
I use Salifert for tests.
I know GSP can become a nuisance, but right now I’m just trying to make sure I’m doing things right before I try my hand at some LPS.
Thanks,
mike
