Why wont they open?

I have to 48" t5s about a foot above them and they are like this. Do i need to move the light up?

Could be lighting, flow, parameters, etc....

You are moving along pretty quickly, slow your roll some. When I first started I pushed the limits of what and when to add everything because it was really exciting! Just because your tank has cycled and the parameters are steady doesn't mean the tank is ready for everything....

Just my 2 cents..

Ive had zoas closed up for 10 days, and I would catch them open at night.... give them time, there not dead so thats a positive

Fish this tank has been up for 9 months and running steadily for 8. This is my small 20 not my 40 upgrade.
