some have PE during the day and some at night. If you see that there is no PE than there is a problem.

How much flow and what is the source? And is it laminar or chaotic?

I PE several times a day. I also take a "Strength and Conditioning" class instead of PE. What are you talking about?

 

[ClownNut]

at least 40X some what chaotic.

Think about adding a wavebox. Nothing I have ever added to my tank gave me the thrill that this has. And PE was pronounced and immediate.

I would watch your flames and see if they are nipping. I've had the same problem with other dwarf angels, where my corals would only show PE at night. Move a frag of one of your corals to another tank and see what happens to its PE, as I'm sure that'll be easier than trying to catch your flames and seeing what happens.
