Slow growth. Reasons why?

jtgordon20 · Mar 29, 2012

I've gone from a 10g to 20L and now to a 40B and never had great growth. No growth on frogspawn, still two mushrooms, and sps not encrusted
What could be something I can do.
I have good equipment. Don't dose. Could it have been that my old MH had a weak ballast but now have new light.

Ask anything you want.
All help and suggestions are appreciated!

Thank you!!

How many fishes are in the tank? Feed more often may help:smile:

What kind of lighting and flow you got going on?

Also what are your Cal, Alk, Mag readings? Got to have that skeleton building going on for them to grow!

I have a small percula clownfish, a starry blenny, fire shrimp and a small yellow tang. Don't worry. He has plans for a bigger home.

Lighting I have a current USA with a 150w 14k pheonix with 2x96w PC. All about 6 weeks old.

I'll have to test for ya. Haven't since I've gone to the 40B. Only been a week. But the 20L had good levels. About 8.5 dkh and 420 calcium. No mag test in the kit.
