Normal Duncan Look

[waterboys]

Just curious as this is my first Duncan (mostly Zoas). Is this normal? It appears healthy but I’m unsure if it’s stretching for something being this “open” (practically folding down itself). It’s been doing it a lot since adding it a little more than 3 weeks ago.

Tank is a year old. Parameters that I can track listed below pulled Monday.

Temp - 78
Salinity - 1.025
pH - 8.4
Alk - 9.1
Cal - 400
Mag - 1180
Nitrate - 2
Pho - .13

looks good to me. How is the flow? They like some flow. I would also suggest to get it onto a rock, off the sand.

It’s fine. When they’re really happy the y open up pretty big sometimes.

Flow should be good (if not too much at times). Small Tunze on the left and slightly smaller Tunze on the right. Alternate and on together some times. Always have at least one on. I’ll move it to a permanent rock eventually just not sure where yet. Right now just sitting in a “frag rock base” to keep it physically off the sand.

Thanks.

Thanks. I thought so but since it’s new didn’t want to assume anything. Great Goni in your pic BTW.

I have a colony about 70+ heads. They like the light. I have them in the mid top portion of my tank. 250 par. I wouldn't put it that close to the sand. Mine like a nice flow. Stronger than my hammers get but nothing crazy and they love mysis shrimp feedings

Mine are actually on bottom. But they get good light and flow. And yeah, they love mysis.

Big fan of the yellow.

I’ll have to get some mysis. I think what I’ve been broadcasting is brine.
