Does this sps look happy?

I have never owned sps before. The tips are looking a bit brown but the small little "polyps" I think is what they are called are out. I do not have a mp10 yet but I do have lots of water movement.

Tank parameters? What kind of flow?

PirateLove · 08/23/2015, 09:09 PM

Thank you for responding. Salinity is 1.026, temp is 80 deg., Zero Nitrate, Calcium 440, Kh 8.5. All of my parameters seem ok. It is a 30 gallon tank with a ten gallon sump. Two hydor powerheads. One is a small nano one and the other is a Huge on that moves tons of water but it doesn't blow my sand around the way I have it positioned. The coral is not in direct flow. It is sitting right under the large powerhead.

Does your salinity fluctuate or any of the parameters? Everything looks fine imo. With Sps I've found that if you have anything that fluctuates it can stress them out. But your acro looks fine.

Currently my salinity has been fluctuating a little bit now that I think about it. My ato is being repaired so i do not have it hooked up. Thanks for that tip, I will get it back in the tank asap.
And thanks for your opinion on the look of it.

No problem, it is hard keeping the salinity and all your parameters steady in a nano tank. I had a hard time with my 12 gallon.

Looks fine to me
