Hey everyone,
My 90 gallon softie dominant reef has been running for over 7 months now, and so far I’ve gotten little to no coral growth. The tanks got some sarcophytons/devils hands, vargas cespitularia, and gorgonians. The only growth I’ve seen is the cespitularia. All fish are reef safe and well fed so that’s not an issue. The only thing I’d say I haven’t been consistently doing is 10% weekly water changes. A few days ago I did buy reef roids and have fed the corals once already, so I’m seeing if that improves anything. I don’t dose anything like alk or cal yet because I’ve read it’s not really needed for soft corals. But if water changes are the issue please let me know, thanks a lot everyone.
