JavaJacketOC Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 try some tests after your next water change. Feed just this new food and test again. I fed that soft freeze food last night but only did half of the recommended amount. No noticeable increase in phosphates as of today. I'm still struggling with polyp extension...I've used several different things but don't get good polyp extension on everything...favia and brain coral always have their polyps out. Everything else is just meh Quote Link to comment

Boggers Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 javajacketOC, what fish do you have in your tank? If you have a fish that nips at polys they will not open up as much. Like an Angel in an SPS tank, even model citizens that only do it once an hour. Quote Link to comment

Boggers Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 No basket star in my shipment of Gorgs thank goodness. USPS delayed shipping a day so it took 4 days. The pair of micro brittle stars didn't make it but the gorgs appear to be ok. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 hmm. It's a rare moment when the recent board isn't dominated by the same 5 people.

I go to the forums page and on the right side you see topics and latests posts. It's a good re-cap. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums from there if you click on the categories for example general discussion - you find all the new topics, same for other categories.

It tapers off. it's all good, new people to the forum are excited to finally nerd out with the rest of us about something they find fascinating. I find searching and reading more fun in most cases, you find some great threads on here heh 2 Quote Link to comment
