gsp not opening

[anthonyhobbs]

So about 3 weeks ago i picked up gsp. It opened great after about 8 hours. Was on a good cycle of open and close during day and night. All of a sudden about 4 days ago the gsp stopped opening up. Only a few do. All my levels are withen range. That is the ones my kit tests for. What could be causing this? Should i be worried?

Levels within range mean nothing... my gsp likes high flow... high light... open everyday

I took them out today and cleaned them and repossitioned them With more flow. Hopefully it works.

How long has the system been running? What other corals are in the tank?

 

[anthonyhobbs]

System been up for about 8 months. Runnings dsb and have a carpet. Condi. Duster. Serpant satar. Lawnmower. Dusky. Clarkii. 2 chromis and a damsel. Along with some emralds. Turbos and narsis. 2 mo ago had an overflow/ ref problem so i use canister with skimmer atm.

Are you running carbon? Carpet and Condi..... Depending on the size of the system and their proximity to one another, there could be warfare between them, and it could be effecting the GSP.

Had the same is issue early on... Mines loves high flow high light also. If both can't be accomplished for placement go with higher light
