Lobo Concerns

[Susan Edwards]

So far it has not gotten all puffy nor have I seen feeding tentacles.

I moved to even lower flow--at least I think that should be lower as it is shielded on all sides. Does it need higher light? What I read says low light, low flow

Lights 75 blue 15 white

ca 400
alk 8.9
mg 1440
po4 .08 Sometimes a bit higher
no3 10 runs 10-20

Pics are with zoom. First pic is day I got it (Friday). 1 pic with an orange filter. Last pic shows placement.

im running 120w leds at 10% B and 5% W in a 30 inch deep tank, my 30 year old lobo has recovered now I have 4 your size and they are growing like weeds. They are hardy and mine loved low light and clean water. high intensity is not good for any coral unless you have an SPS exclusive tank

I have the lights at 75/15 which I don't think it too high. I have 2 sps which are doing well so far. A bunch of zoas and palys and mushrooms and gsp which are thriving and some lps now. So far they are doing well. I'm slowly introducing Lps especially into my tank. Previously, only softies survived, including a 13" head blue toadstool that my clowns claimed, kept it irritated so I think it was released toxins constantly as all other coral died within 2 months.

With no more leathers, things are doing well. Come oct. I'll hve to move them to the new tank so trying to get them all happy and thriving now.
