So I've had this hammer colony of about 8 heads for 6 months now, and it's had zero growth. For the first week or or so it would be fully extended and the polyps would have the little anvils on the ends. Then they slowly became more like they are in the picture below, over the course of a few weeks, and they've stayed like that. I've tried moving the colony in high flow, low flow, almost no flow, but it doesn't change. I had it in the middle of the tank, but it didn't open much and started to lose color, so I moved it down, where it currently remains. Lighting is Led with metal halide. Flow is about 40-60 times volume per hour, with one power head doing a surge type of flow and two doing random flow. Parameters below
Calcium: 410ppm
Alkalinity: 8 dKH
Magnesium:1230ppm
Temp:78-82 degrees Fahrenheit.
Nitrate: Test kit shows zero-probably wrong
Also, my frogspawn has only grown about two new heads in the last 10 months. Any advice?
