Just looking 4 some advice

[DLR74]

I have a trumpet coral,Xenia and a hammer coral i m just wondering if anyone can recommend some supplements to help my corals grow. They are healthy but i really am not seeing any splitting with any of them since my trumpet split from 4 to 6 heads there is some change i noticed with the hammer it seems one head has started to split. The tank is a 24 gallon aquapod 11 months old i have about 23 pounds of live rock that has rerally nice corraline on it any advice will be appreciated.:fingerx:

It takes time :-D. I use the B-IONIC and thats it in my tank and everything looks great and some of the corals grow like weeds. What type of lights you use may also have a part to play.

 

[DLR74]

just the factory bulbs which are 64 watt compacts.

your lights will have a profound effect on coral growth.

Only DOSE for what you TEST for! Anything else is a risk and potential waste of money.

Upgraded lighting may help. Keep in mind that PC lights are the LEAST intense of the lights available in our hobby. More light = more energy available. More energy "MAY" mean more coral growth. Really as long as they are healthy you're doing something right and I wouldn't rush it.

I would also say better lighting...

If by trumpet you mean what is also called candy cane they can also do with spot feeding to help growth. I have one about 8 inches from a 65 W pc and it is in need of fragging about once a year to keep it from over reaching its neighbors. I feed mysis or chopped squid once a week.

Ok i will get some mysis.. Currently there are six heads should i feed at night and how much?

They generally have their feeders out a night but you can get them to open up in the daytime to feed by squirting a little food in their direction and waiting a few minutes for the heads to respond. Mine will open up anytime they sense a meal.
