SPS Dominant - Powered by Radion - SPS Question

[Hentz]

So I've had an SPS 40 breeder dominant a few weeks ago before I downgraded and sold everything since I just moved. Now in a Solana 34 starting from an established tank FOWLR (Only 2 clowns, the coolest most spunkiest ones ever).

Question is, I keep reading a bioload will help better my SPS. I had a very small bioload (2 clowns) in my 40 breeder SPS dominant which I saw SOME growth in, not much. Will fish poop help my SPS corals color and grow? Aside from my dosing of Calc and all that good stuff, I'm running a Radion Gen2 along with a WP10 and Hydor 240.

I think wondering if your tank needs more nutrients is a bit premature at the moment..
It seems to me that this is a new set up.
Your immediate concerns should be stable parameters and knowing what your nutrient levels are..
Tell us a bit more about your current water parameters and what you are adding to the tank.
Your system may just need a bit more time to mature...

I am running a radion G1 and have no issues, this doesn't mean that me upgrading will do better just saying.
By the way I feed my tank 4mls of Sps food 4 to 5 times a week.

Params would help a lot, I'll do a fresh test after this post.

Aside from that, the setup isn't really new. It's been up and running for almost a year now, if not a little over. Though the only thing ever added were these two Black Onyx clowns. My buddy never had time to do any corals or anything and ended up selling the setup to me. I've been dosing calc and what not so that should be up.

But aside from all that, I was just wondering if fish poop basically fed the corals and made them grow and color up aside from manually feeding them.

I think your tank could use another couple fish. I would recommend some wrasses to add movement and get some fish poop in the water! Yes, it will help the corals color up.

I think I may add a fish or two.

Also another question, I know SPS LOVES flow.... I've got a WP10 running right now along with a 240 hydor nano powerhead. Thinking of taking out the 240 and replacing it with another WP10, would that be smart or create too much flow? I plan on having a couple pieces of LPS in there as well so kind of stuck on this.
