Frogspawn hasn't grown in past 4 months! Help!

Hi everyone.

Could too little nutrients cause my frogspawn not to grow. My tank has zero nitrate and phosphate and the tank is sps dominated.

The frogspawn is also getting medium to low light and medium flow.

Thanks

Low Nutrient water and low light could be the problem.

Try direct feeding or move it to a spot with more light.

what is your lighting and water parameters?

what is your lighting and water parameters?

I have a 22 gallon cube with a 250 watt metal halide 12 inches above the surface

Calcium 400
Alkalinity 8
Magnesium 1410
Phosphate 0
Nitrate 0

The frogspawn is at the very bottom of the tank, kind of being shaded by a birds nest. I will move it into higher light and see what happens.

Spot feed it some cyclopeze.
