Jeffrey howell Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Hi all! Someone at work told me about this website so I though I'd check it out. I started my first reet tank back in June and so far its coming along well. I had a bit of an algae problem until i started washing the shrimp before I fed them. Unfortunately it may have been too late for the Royal Gramma we had in there. I think everything is back to normal and all my coral and fish are looking ok. I wonder if the powerhead I have in there is too much for this small tank (29 gallons). Im having difficulty getting the bubble coral to open up fully. The tank is a little underwhelming right now. We're trying to grow the corals. I'm no sure what to put on the top right above the hammer coral. Any suggestions? I'm running LED's for my lighting. I know people arent bug fans of the xenia but it came attached to the live rock we bought so it's been awesome to see it revive and thrive.

FarmerTy Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Welcome to the club!Bubble corals arent huge fans of a lot of flow. Maybe try lowering the flow a bit if possible or move it ti a spot with less flow and see how it goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I included a video. 20180922_162549.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how it looks there the next couple of weeks.I'd look into hosting your video on YouTube next time or some other site. Linking it like that makes the person watching have to download the entire video to watch. Its a weird software on the site sometimes.
