What's up, RC-
I've had a slight problem recently with my Zoas not opening completely when in direct light. They're not losing color or bleaching, but just won't open completely. I thought maybe it was too much flow, so I turned that down. That wasn't it. Maybe a nutrient problem even though I have little to no algae? Nope. Then the other day I saw a frag of Zoas under a rock that were completely open and growing only in partial light. This led me to believe that maybe too much light is causing them to stay closed a little bit. Here's some specs:
Light: Radion
Nutrients/Levels: No3- 1ppm, Po4 .04, Alk- 9.5, Calc 400, Mag 1350.
Even my GSP won't completely open. I should also add all the livestock was fragged from my previous tank. I switched livestock over about a month ago or so. Most of the stuff was fragged. Any thoughts?
