I have a 56l tank with only 2 corals, both are GSP. I have them on the sand bed because I don't want them taking over the rock work.
I've had 1 GPS in there for 3 weeks and I've not seen much improvement, so I'm playing around with my flow.

The tank has a fluval canister filter outputting 500lph and a AI Nero 3 running aty 68% power, which is 4230lph.
I'm at about 85x turnover rate.



Does this look like too much or too little.
I'm using the pulse setting on the Nero, but should I try the random function?
Max power at 68% and min power at about 50% with a medium variance?

Whats your Phos and nitrate?

GSP should be able to grow in a toilet lol.

It may look rough as its on the sand as well.

If its too much flow they will tighten up
 
I tested yesterday, nitrate is 5ppm and my red sea test kit is showing no phosphates.

ID get phosphates up.

But it very well could be because its on sand bed it doesnt have anything sturdy to attach to.

I will let others chime in
 
The GSP are on their own little rocks.
I don't want to put them on the main rock work, I don't want a GSP infection taking over my tank.
 

WHAT DO YOU ALWAYS RUN OUT OF AT THE WORST TIME?
