I just picked up 2 cheap pavonas. I'm testing out my tank now that my monster leather is gone to see if sps and lps will survive--previously, nothing but softies (leather toadstool huge, clowns hosted, and it was constantly irritated so I think it was dumping toxins in tank). Duncan very happy and galaxea looks good. Just wondering about the orange
The green one looks as good as it did in the lfs. The orange isn't "out" as much. More than yesterday. I think it is an orange maldivensis pavona. From what I've read, it likes lower light than the greens.
I think it has good flow. The Green one just above it I can see the polyps moving in the current. The orange no. It was up with the green and I lowered it. 1 powerhead above it is on stream. Rest on either surge or wave. Surge I think (3 of them)
Lights are 70%blue 12% white
No3 between 10-20
Po 4 between .06 and .1
Cal 380
Alk 9.4
How much will it open? Does it need to go lower?
