Hi Guys.
My Tank is now nearly 3/4 a Year old and i think its doibg great.
The only Coral that i have Problems with is my Frogspwan. I got it from a Friend and he is an offiziel dealer,so the Coral was great standing .
But since it is in my Tank, now probably 4 Month, it never open like before.

It has no RTN ore STN ore some other bugs. And also the Color is quite good.
All other Euphyllia are great.
The Frogspawn has a very special form, like a Zylinder.

PO4 0.05
NO3 3-4
Calcium 428
Magnesium 1260
KH 7.7

Its strange for me because the Coral doesnt look sick and has a lot of flesh.

Does someone know this?.

Hi.
do you know your light par readings?
I have great success having par no less than 100.

looking at your euphyllias, looks like they can use more par output.
why do you think my other euphyllias need more par?
I thought they stand great, do you think i can get more with more par? i dont know my par readings. im using radion g3

Those euphyllias on the video are yellow 3 heads red 4heads and the other little obes 2-3

Maybe your friend has a par meter you can borrow? It's a good idea to get it checked. The one that is stretching upwards could be indicating it wants more light

What size tank? How many G3 and what are they set at?

I agree they look happy. The Zoa don't appear to be stretching. The Euphyllia can generally take quite a bit more light though so not sure the Zoa are a good indicator for the light received by the LPS. I would still see about getting a par meter to check things out. The only way to know for sure. Can't judge light intensity with our own eyes with these heavy blue reef lights. Was it 2 or 3 XR30 at 50%? One post said 3 and the deleted one said 2.

Could be a flow thing too with the one. Nitrates are on the low side but don't think that would cause it to look like it does.

My guess is too much light and flow. Mine looks the same and that's definitely my problem
