6 month old tank....heavily stock via smaller tank that was 1 year old.

GROUP A: Torch, recordia, carpet nem, Montipora(bleach in week) - all no growth or shrinking. All of these happen to coral new additions.

GROUP B: zoas, Duncan bubbletip nems, birds nest, Yuma, various mushrooms, hammer coral, rock nems - all steady growing. Hammer and Yuma are new additions.

Do you see something in my parameters that would stop the GROUP A not to thrive? Carpet nem was purchased a 6", down to 3-4 inches after 3-4 months. It is in the bottom corner, my guess is not enough light. Recordia is getting quality light next to a yuma that has doubled and had 2 babies.


2x3 tank, 88 gal, 1 AI prime, 2 noopsche 3's.

Alkalinity & salinity swings might be one of the culprits, from your recorded parameters
