Frag has been hurting from day one. Low flow low light area. Target feeding it every 2 days. I'm definetly not winning this one. I'm just hopping it makes it since itis a nice chalice. :headwalls:

Nice. Six months is a long time, it will come back.

Target feed? you find that helps?. I just feed the heck out of the whole tank, let the food chain take care of itself. Not saying its a bad idea, lots of folks have success with target feeding, im just lazy.:blown:

How about some pictues of tank? :rollface:

 

[rovster]

Target feeding absolutely helps with lps!

Well I'm only doign the target feeding bc it was hurting and since it sits next to my Goni who gets fed every two days I also feed him. I'll post up some pics of the tank although I don't have any recent ones.

Curious on your hydra settings. Can you post a screen shot? Still dialing both of mine in.

Good Luck... It will recover. That other chalice is HAPPY!

I'm hoping it does recover. It keep getting worse while the other 2 chalices are growing daily. :headwally:

Well I have been careful not to increase the intensity too fast. I have my blues right now in the 65-80% range. UV 65% Violet 75% Red 10% green 10% White at 20% and increasing it slowly. I just run my whites for about 5 hours including ramp up and ramp down.

Hey I'm sorry Eddie. The frag is a Moved onto a better place. That's if corals go to heaven. It never looked good and I tried to bring it back but it didn't respond well. I think I have a pic of the carcass. I have to look.
