Poly Extension ?

[Theo15]

I took the pictures with my phone so the images aren't the best..

I read a thread and he had the same problem because of this beautiful creature.Maybe sth is bothering them during daylight.

I've sat and watch my tank and I haven't seen any fish do anything to my corals ,occasionally a hermit might crawl across them but that's it ,so I'm lost , my water quality is good also

Do you guys think I should change my bulb combination ,maybe it's too bright ?...

This was an email from the owner of tidal gardens. This man is so smart. Check his page out. Ton of videos

Nope, many keep Acropora directly under MH lighting. I do not think lighting is the issue.

When you post water quality is good, is that referring to Ca/alk/mag?

Even though you never see an Angel pick at corals you'd be surprised how many hobbyist experienced the same situation removed the Angel and PE returned. I am not saying that is the cause but do not rule it out completely.

I can only tell you what works or worked for me, and that included allowing N/P to creep up from very low levels.

I'm still questioning myself as in if it to bright or not bright enough

My acros are growing I'm just concerned, I dip everything and I feed zooplankton and seachem reef plus

I feed reef roids

My PE went from very underwhelming to super amazing when I increased flow. I was using twin MP10s maxing out at about 85% in my 45g shallow (36x24x12"), and I never had much extension. Since I added a Gyre xf230 to the equation (maxing out at 40%), polyp extension has exploded...

I use two pp-15 on wave mode

How is that I was thinking about switching to that or reef chilie?

I really like it. Stinks like **** if you spill it. Lol just saying

I have plenty of flow , I have tunze and hydor wave makers all over the tank ,there are no dead spots....

 

[ironman20725]

I have one dead spot that is the sleeping place for the fish at night

And I also use ,vitachem by Boyd industries...I might try the powder instead soon.

I try to eliminate dead spots because of detritus build up

I just also clean from that one corner and I randomly turn the powerheads to blow crap around
