I upgraded the stock return pump to a Sicce 0.5 last Saturday (6 days ago) in my 10 gallon nuvo and added a spin stream nozzle. Since then my goniopora has staying retracted. There is a difference between how it looks in the day and in the night, so I know it is getting some light, but the polyps are not out at all. I don't know if it is getting too much flow or is just cranky from the change.
If 1 then I'd take the jebao wave maker offline (which is why I got the spin stream and upgraded pump in the first place!). If 2 then I need to keep the jebao online, and if 3 then I need to just keep things stable.
My parameters have not changed (nitrate is below 2ppm using salifert, All, Cal Mg all in normal ranges). I did have a bacterial bloom for a day or two after I changed the water on saturday cause I was too aggressive with the substrate. I've had the tank for a month and half, the goni came with the tank (it was a used set up) and I don't know how long its been in the system.
Any advice or support would be super appreciated!
