Favia placement

[Curtie44]

Hey all, I'm looking for a little help here. Where in your tank are you guys getting the best growth out of your Favia's? I haven't been able to find the spot where they are happy. I have had the green one for well over 6 months and it still looks like it did when I got it. I got the Mia's Pot of Gold at MACNA and it hasn't done much either. Every place I have put them has been on the sand bed, weather it was shade, direct light, partial shade...still nothing. At least they aren't dying:angel: Anybody have any suggestions?

i keep mine on the bottom and feed them regularly :^)

Hey Scott. So you keep 'em in full light then? Not partially shadowed? What mixture of food are you feeding?

 

[gilmour01]

they get full light and i feed them mysis once or twice a week. most favias that i've kept have been slow growers. i think thats just their nature, but i'm not a favia expert.

How deep is your tank and what lights?

How deep is your tank and what lights?

standard 75g 2 x 250w halides and 4 x 54w T5's. i keep them a little sheltered from direct halides, but they definitely arent shaded.
