Hi All!
In my frag tank, my Zoas & Palys don't grow quickly at all. They all open and seem great, just don't spread.
Hard coral grows real well, however.
In my display tank, Zoas & Palys proliferate like crazy!
Both have Hydra 52's . I understand that the frag tank is shallow so lighting is different. I do have the light like 16" above the water line. Both tanks have similar lighting schedules.
The frag tank does have a much larger sump - a 40B. I remove a 5 gal bucket of cheato every 3 weeks.
The DP does not grow cheato as much.
I was thinking because the frag tank is too clean because of all the nutrient export?
I don't test as often as I should but I did recently all seemed ok.
Thoughts?
