Just wanted some general tips on growing and promoting my frogspawn and hammer corals to produce more heads.
My Tank Stats
1.026 salinity
9-10dkh
460 calcium
1300 mag
run AB+ spectrum
Tank has been running for almost 2 years but little to no growth on frogspawn when it comes to popping out more heads, and advice?
 
They are slow. Incredibly slow. The best advice I can give is feed heavily run a higher alk of 11-12.

They definitely do grow pretty slowly. Mine took 7 months to split from 3 heads to 6 heads. I don't really feed them, just kept them at around 200 PAR.

My parameters:
1.025 sg
8.0 pH
7 dKH
480 ppm Ca
1560 ppm Mg
78 degrees F

I do not dose anything in the tank.
