I've got nems. 1 was really really bright when a friend got it. It split and when I was waiting to get the split 1 it decided to take a trip into his wavemaker, so by the time I got it it wasn't anywhere near its best and was very very dull. It was growing and getting a little brighter before it took another pilgrimage though a wavemaker, where everything bar its foot was turned into soup. Everything is on the mend and I've got a bit of a bug for BTAs, I've got another 2. 1 was from the LFS and doing fine and the other was a brown blob when I got it of someone. This 1 has gained a good bit of colour but not entirely bright and I want the best for the nems. So off late I've been trying to do a bit of research on how to get zooxanthellae to populate. I read an article yesterday, I think may have been done by yourself on zooxanthellae. It explains what it is what it needs, that's why I know I need manganese as I have had a ATI water test done and I know I'm low on manganese. What it doesn't explain is ( for the stupid amongst us ie me) what are the best ways of getting it populate in coral. It explain it needs light, food source ( I think) and flow. But I suppose I'm looking for people that have actually thought along these lines and not just what lights are best for coral and filtration & the likes. Do people think what's best for zooxanthellae so they can get superbright coral.
