Hi all, I have had this Fluval setup now for about 6 months. I started with everything standard but really didn’t like the stock light effect. I have since installed a Razor Nano and was wondering if anyone else has used this light on this tank and how they got on. I have tried various light combinations but don’t seem to be getting the growth. I have the following corals that are opening up well but not growing\spreading, Duncan, leather toadstool, Kenya tree, leather finger, green star polyps, and a couple of mushrooms. The parameters are all good and I do a 10 litre water change per week. I have tested the RO at 0ppm and does Salifert All In One once a week and Salifert Coral Food every other day. Any ideas? Many Thanks Will

Background So Tank was started in July, it all started with doing a water feature in the garden (a well with some goldfish), then a betta tank (aquaponics) for the office, then I came across the reef hobby, started googling galore, owned nothing and had every system dreamt up, i wanted to get a nano tank that would fit into my house with no upset and then if all went well and knew the hobby was for me, I would be able to upgrade down the line. I read an article, that was just spoke to me and it was based upon a book, so i found the book, bought it in hardcopy (the wife said was on the phone too much) and was locked in. Reef was gonna be definitely for me. I had a friend who was a long time fish enthusiast (tropical) and had just got into the saltwater game, FOWLER tank and then into corals and then sacked his tropical tank and upgraded to just one reef tank. Having a Reef Buddy has definitely made this journey even more enjoyable. So after reading the book, my brief was simple a nano tank that would fit on the table I already have, buy equipment which can be used in the next tank (modular etc) and hopefully i enjoy the hobby and if so upgrade to as big as tank I can (ie id love a 6ft peninsula with walk in room behind it, dividing the dining room and living room, but then id need a new house, most likely 200l, big enough tank but in scale with the room), and if i didn't well, well don't even need to finish the sentence. As its a great hobby! Goal Fully stocked stable Tank, once I Reach this target I will begin the journey all over again with most likely a 3ft sumped tank, then convince the wife we need a bigger house and its nothing to do with the fish.
