Hi all,
I’ve had this Goni for ~10 months now. When I first purchased it, it was relatively small. However, over the past 10 months it seems to be getting smaller and I can’t figure out the cause. I was wondering if someone could provide some insight. (You’ll notice I am going through a bubble algae infestation.. currently getting a handle on that).
Tank: 40B, ~1.8 years old.
Light: (2) AI Prime 16hd
PAR: 110
Nitrates: 11.4 (stable between 10-12ppm)
PO4: 0.11 ppm (currently use phosgaurd over the past year to combat leaching from dry rock).
Ca: 440
Mg: 1320
Alk: 9
Salinity: 1.025
PH: 8
Dosing:
AFR: 15mL day
Phyto daily
AB+ daily
Reef roids: 1x/week target feed
Fish feeding: brine shrimp 1x/day and mysis 1x/day
The location it’s in now I would consider low flow. I had kept it in medium flow for a few months and that didn’t seem to be doing the Goni justice. I moved it to low flow about 2 weeks ago. Nothing happens overnight, so I’ve been monitoring. I can’t say it looks like it’s getting smaller in this low flow, so I’m keeping it where it is for now. Currently, Im not expecting it to last another 3-4 months….
Just not sure what else I can be doing to give my Goni the upper hand.
It hasn’t been in contact with any LPS that would sting.
Any thoughts or advice for keeping a Goni? I’ve read they can be finicky in aquariums (based on older posts). All other LPS seem to be thriving and growing new heads
