frogspawn, hammer suggestions

[james30ct]

I've had a frogspawn and 2 hammer frags for months now and they seem tight and retracted. I went to a friends house last night and the heads on his hammer were about 1/4" each where mine are probably less than half of that. Any idea why?

Tank is 155g with wp40 and rw15 powerheads. All 3 pieces are in different locations.
alk 9
cal 420
temp 81
mag 1240
nitrates zero
lighting is 3 reefbreeder value fixtures
I do water changes every week with regular io salt and ro/di water

too much flow?

too much flow?

Not sure. I have a gig nem, a bta nem, and a bubble coral that seem fine. I have a torch on the sand that I'm not sure how expanded its supposed to be but its tentalces are around an inch long.

I have the same problem. My frog spawn have suddenly retracted I think because my fish hasve been screwing with them. Its been like this for a few weeks. they still have a few signs that they are still good. trying to figure out a way to get them to come back out. Any ideas?

I own a RB over my wife's tank that I had to sup with 2 T5's just to get everything to grow like it does in my system. Same water, different lighting, and the results are night and day. My polyps are quite large and they love all the light I blast, hers not so much. Not trying to get into a LED debate, but... JMO

His tank was lit with a rb photon.

I have never been able to get these to open for some reason even with all t5's, and halide/led combo. maybe its how they are? I will post some pics.

I was having extension issues as well with my hammer under T5's and recently put a RB Photon 48 over the 90g and after about 3-4 weeks the wall hammer is looking MUCH better. Hoping to get water into my 300 soon so I can transfer everything over!

Im hoping to get my reef clubs par meter soon to see where the tanks par is at.
