Ok thanks for the advice!Not all, most can slough off detritus. It’s a good practice to gently do that before water changes for the rocks though.

I understand the nitrate phosphate thing and people driving lower nutrient systems but mine is thriving on .1 phos and 44 nitrate no issues or algae coraline growing encrusting of sps so if its working for his system why does he need to lower? Jw tbh cause i never understood the ultra low nutrient systems....No major issues imo. Most thing look happy. I would however get those alk swings under control and lower n and p somewhat.
A fuge would probably work wonders…although I find that they are generally better at binding nitrates than phosphates.
Some tanks can handle that but generally speaking lower numbers will lead to greater success long term.I understand the nitrate phosphate thing and people driving lower nutrient systems but mine is thriving on .1 phos and 44 nitrate no issues or algae coraline growing encrusting of sps so if its working for his system why does he need to lower?

I took the pictures with the flow off so it would be clear and not blurry but there is pretty good flowBirdsnest, for being touted as an easy beginners coral can be finicky. The picture looks ok to me - maybe flow?
What's wrong with the Duncan in your opinion? It looks good in those pictures - at least what I'm seeing.
Gonis are temperamental and can be difficult. They either love your tank or hate it. I find mine like a medium flow, very random. When it's too high they tend to stay closed or at least tight to the skeleton.
The hammer makes me think flow is fairly low in the tank?
I don’t run gfo haven’t quite figured that out the people at wwc where like it can be challenging according to them they said stick to water changesLighting, flow and (stable) parameters - as mentioned above from several others - are key.
* Flowerpots can be temperamental at times (flow is important)
* Birds nests can be finicky (stable parameters help)
Q: Is that a 0.9ppm phosphate reading or 0.09ppm?
Q: Do you run any GFO in a reactor (etc.) in your tank?
(Sorry if I missed answers to the above in earlier replies).
Mine does that sometimes. Snails, fish, your hand... Something could have "scared it" so it retracted. Do you notice it happening at a specific time that might coincide with a light ramp up/down or a powerhead changing flow intensity or direction?Ok so I did t see this before but what could be causing this to happen

I believe it more chemistry than anything just because it’s been good for weeks before thisMine does that sometimes. Snails, fish, your hand... Something could have "scared it" so it retracted.
