Default getting there


Try to bump up your temperature a little higher. I would try to keep it
around 78F,
rather than 75F.


And I would even recommend 80-82 MAny people strive for 82-84.. Most of our
corals are collected from reefs that average 84-88 degrees, and keeping them in
78 degree waters causes them to use more of their motabolism to just stay warm,
instead of using the metabolism for growth.. The article linked below will
explain it nicely
