LPS corals:
I'm not having good luck with these. My euphyllias are surviving but the heads are shrunk- just slightly bigger then the skeleton, not puffed up like they should be. I'm guessing this is also do to low nutrients. I would imagine they would need nitrates in the 5-10ppm range. It seems impossible at this point to achieve that without a forest of algae growing. I often feed the LPS but it doesn't appear that they are capturing the food (Reef Roids, shredded shrimp and salmon).
Any thoughts?
