About 4 months ago I got a dendro frag, but it's been a long time and I haven't seen it opening during the day.
It only opens around 10:00PM when the lights start to turn off and it keeps open all night and closes again around 8:00AM in the morning.

I manually feed it twice a week and it's beautiful when opened, but it only opens at nigh.

I have changed it from one location to another without success, high, low or medium flow, but nothing.

Any tips on how to make it open during the day?

ccampo, dendro's are well known for not staying open during the day. They have to be "trained" to stay open during the day by being fed during the day.

Thanks a lot,

I'll try to do that and see what happens.

Does it open when you feed the tank during the day? Mine is picky about flow but sounds like you've tried that, I only feed during the day, I find feeding in the morning as soon as the lights go on keeps it open all day.
