I want to share the following pictures with you and see what you think.

I have a 60-gallon AIO tank that has been up and running for about 7 months.

I have 2 clownfish, 2 firefish, 1 bengai cardinal, 1 Midas blenny, 3 green chromis, 1 golden head goby (which is making a mess of my zoas with sand), and 1 neon dottyback.

I have three torches, 3 hammers, 3 zoas, and 1 Duncan.

My parameters are good (see the picture below of my parameters from last month).

I have 2 AI Prime lights. I also attached the lighting spectrum I am using. Ramp up 4hrs, steady for 4hrs, and ramp down for 4 hrs.

My problem is that the torches and hammers are not extending. They were slightly fine before, but never really extended. Now they are almost closed.

The Duncan sometimes looks good, and most of the time is retracted.

I tweaked the lighting and flow a little bit, but it made it worse, so I brought it back to what it was.

I'm dosing All for Reef every day. 10ml. and NO3 1ml to keep my nitrates stable.

What you guys think?

Bring up mg 1380 to 1400. Get a par meter reading the areas Euphillia do like under 200 for starters slowly bring up to 275 mine are around 240. How do they look lights out?
