So some of you may have seen my other two threads with growth and color issues. Well I think I have a pretty good balance now and I am starting to see better results. Some have great colors, some are coloring up. The one type of coral that I still have issues with is my milli's.
I have a rose milli now for over a year in high light and high flow and it has done nothing... I have a palmers blue millie (med to high light, medium flow) that half of it died and what remains is white and flourecent green with red polyps... But otherwise has looked like this for most of a year.... I have some other brwoenish millie that I broke once so I have one piece in high light medium flor and another piece in med light with medium flor.
When I say medium flow it is less direct than the high flow areas. In have very random flow with two mp10's in anti-sync mode so I get good random movement...My high flow area are just closer to the pumps jet stream...
Anyway my parameters are:
NO3 .50
PO4 0
Calc 450
Mag 1440
Alk 8.1
PH 8-8.4
My nitrates have only recently become detectable and that has spured some better growth in my other sps... I also target feed every few days and dose amino acids.
Most of my other sps have been doing well lately and some are huge... Are Milli's typically difficult?
