Polyp extension

[Dakotah]

For some reason all my sps and Lps have amazing growth rates but very little polyp extension.. What would be the reason for this?

Check your Mag. levels

 

[Dakotah]

I do the levels are perfect I dose mag with a doser so it's automatic and the same every time

Is your system starved? Post a pic of your reef. It will give us a better idea of what you have going on.

add a few drops of oyster feast those things will pop right out.

I raised mine to 1350 and my polyp extension
went tru the roof

 

[Dakotah]

Well today I dropped like 300 in dosers for alk,mag, and iodine and strontium to keep the levels the same like always... Maybe this will help and here are some pics and its def not a starved system

I'm sure that bicolor angel has something to do with it

Really?? Or are we being sarcastic... I've never seen him touch the Lps or sps however zoas that's another story

No, Really. It might be him.

Just because you have never seen him doesn't mean he isn't. They are nippers of corals. Adding them to a reef is hit or miss but eventually mother nature takes over and they start to nip.
