Hi all - my Duncan seems to be receding. I took a few pics at 1 month, 6 month and then today. At one point it was going a new stem but not sure what happened. I feed them 1x week 4 LPS pellets.
Parameters are 8 months stable at 1.024 Sal, Nit 4ppm, Phos 0.04, calc 415, Alk 9.8, mag 1375-ish…I dose nitrate once a week and keep it around 4ppm, otherwise it will drop to zero.
Soft corals are doing great. Gorgonian is growing crazy…only clown and blenny and a few crabs in tank.
I felt like maybe the trace minerals were lacking so this week I started 1ml of Red Sea AB+. I also restarted water changes, 10% every week.
When I 1st got, the skeleton was smooth. I notice now that it is dimpled and looks “old” lol.
Part 2: my leather hasn’t grown in 8 months. Shedding now but seems to get smaller every shed. Also tentacles do not extend fully or Fluoresce like when I first bought it.
Bonus: my gorgonian is looking and growing amazing. I cut the top off 3 weeks ago and it has a 1 inch growth already.
