Polyp extension in plumbed together tanks

[cilyjr]

Granted one tank etc… Done it few times same outcome.
Could be light related, not enough/too much

How quickly did you see this?

It is about 3 months between the pictures. I was reducing the intensity by 5% a month and observing etc…

Few years back I had fuzzy SPS:

And I had crash, went on vacation and the tank turned freshwater/brackish water.
Had bit of a reboot and for what ever the reason I had none to minimal polyp extension.

Out of all the levers I tried the light intensity is helping the most. I knew I increased the intensity at one point but I didn’t think 10-15% could make such a difference.

Good luck,

This is an almost zero risk experiment.
I will drop it some and report back...

I decided to buy a par meter. I went with the one that Neptune systems sells as it will integrate into that system.

Not sure how integration works or is all that beneficial. Test your par once and you are good to go sans re-scaping. Test once per year to monitor LED life. I can't wait to see your results!
