Have you ever heard me say that Alk and Ca are two of the four most important water parameters? If not, you may find great insight into keeping a reef aquarium in the Reefkeeping Tips linked below.

So the major question is, What are the Alk and Ca levels in this tank?
Next question is, If the Hammer Coral is doing well, since they are the same Euphyllia species, what is the difference between where they are placed in the tank?

Can you show us a full tank pic?

Spot feeding can be helpful. My opinion is that a lack of spot feeding would not cause this problem, especially evident because the hammer is doing okay. I don't do any special spot feeding and in my 10 years of coral farming, LPS coral grew plenty fast.

What are the level in your tank? How new is your tank? Do you ever spot feed it? What other corals are in your tank? ]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:47:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55548&PID=459831&title=torch#459831 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55548&PID=459795&title=torch#459795 Author: ReefKeeper78
