Its just bothering me for quiet sometime. Before on my pico tank i have a good polyp extension with my sps like birdsnest and monti. Grew them pretty well but my only problem back then was the magnesium keeps getting low no biggie. So i decided to upgrade to a bigger tank. From 6g to 20g and a little more fish. Everything was ok but i see less polyp extension on my birdsnest and monti but my problem with that yank was phosphate as i cant bring it down cause its always hovering from .20 - .15. So i decided to upgrade to my now 40g and going for sps dominated tank. Lost my monti digitata and my birdsnest from the love but i added more sps from time to time.
Now my thing is my tank have 0 phosphate and nitrates of 5-10. And i have no polyp extension. I even have strong flow. I have 2 mj1200 return and a gyre 1k on a cvue 40g with a foot print of 40breeder. I got a birdsnest but not much of polyp extension like a fuzzy stick maybe all of them. They are growing and coloring but no polyp extension. Sometimes my new frag have a good extension then when it hits my tank the next day polyps will be retracted. I have 3 ai primes hd on my tank. I dont know what else i can do if somebody can chime in thanks in advance.
