corals not flowing

[petenheather]

since moving my 2 frogspawn corals and 1 hammer, they have yet to fully come out, any thoughts on what could cause this?:confused:

Change in light, flow?

[petenheather]

no, but had to do a 50% water change because nitrate was too high, it came down to around 0.0 to 5, now it has spiked to around 40+ I havent had a loss since I first started doing the water changes to fix the trate prob, look at my post (nitrates are back up agian)

I'd get nitrates down ... as IMO elevated nutrients will make it unhappy [esp. when combined with new conditions to acclimate to ... probably not a huge change, but there's more variance across our tanks in terms of light/etc than we can see].

I'd keep focused on the water quality/nutrient levels ... IMO once they drop, I'd think your Euphyllia will look good again.

How much do you feed? What's your export?

I feed flake and mysis shrimps to the fish and use phytoplex.
