Kenya tree droopy

[nonstopsoda]

Help! My Kenya tree has been droopy for a few days since I got it and I don’t know what to do

Needs more water flow on it. what light are you using?

I’m using a NICREW classic led full spectrum and the tank is only a 5 gallon so I don’t know if I should put in a power head

Need more flow. Tree leathers like lots of flow. Get a powerhead in there. I like this one:

hygger Mini Wave Maker Magnetic DC Powerhead with LED Display Controller for Saltwater Tank, 1600 GPH Aquarium Water Circulation Pump 3 to 25 Gallon​

Definitely agree with the other reefers, these guys love the flow. Honestly you can’t overdo flow for these corals. Good luck!

Thank you! The hygger powerhead is a bit over my price range (I’m 15 so I have yet to find a job) but I will try to find a good power head for a little cheaper

Look at a Jeboa Sw 2 Or Rw 2 cheap and reliable and DC .

look up sunsun wavemakers on amazon. I've been running one for 5 years now - super cheap.

I also have a Kenya Tree and it has been droopy for the past month. Any advice? thanks

Flow is the best advice. They like flow. They also hat you messing in the tank. If you are in the tank a lot or making changes, they will close up and droop. give it time with flow and hands off. Good luck!

Which sunsun did you end up getting? Just be aware that they're pretty "open" so beware of things getting sucked into the powerhead. They're pretty powerful for the price too, and there's no way to turn them down
