Hey all, I need some help please. All other coral and water parameters are good. It has been this way for at least 4 weeks. Has its ups and downs, loses a finger here and there.

It's under the stock light that comes with the flu value Evo, I believe 11k white plus I added one strip of 4 LED's that are 456nm I believe and another white strip with 4 LED'S. Aqueon 600 pump I believe is the model.

But do you have it in a high light and flow zone? If not, try giving it more light and flow

Ok, I'll move it higher and closer to return. Hopefully that helps. Thanks Ray!
Your welcome :D Softies like that like a good amount of flow and a moderate to high amount of light. Don't make the change extremely drastic.

The Zoanthids next to the piece lead me to believe the piece has enough light, the cyano next to the piece leads me to believe you need more flow.

I can't find anything small enough. This is a 5 gallon tank on my desk. Suggestions? I did buy the biggest pump that fits in the original pump chamber.
