Hello everyone, I have been having a weird issue that I tought wasn’t an issue until now, all my SPS including Acros, Cyphastrea, seriatopora, stylos etc. have super extended polyps and not in a great way in some of them I cannot even see the skeleton and on some it looks like they are stretched out almost like a tube shape, for example montipora polyps extend up from the actual skeleton it’s very weird looking. Has anyone had anything like this? Corals are looking healthy and encrusting/ growing. Tank is 5ft
I am using 5 Radion gen 5 blues with 2 strips reefbrite xho actinic and the par is up to 450 par on some Tenuis acros, running 2 x mp40 on 60% reef crest(was more i’Ve reduced it to see if that helps but no success . Parameters are:
Salinity 1.026
Ph 8.3/4
Nitrates 5/6
PO4 0.05
Calcium 460
Magnesium 1410
Alkalinity 7.8
any help will be greatly appreciated . If it’s chemistry I’m sure RHF would have seen this before or so I hope! It just makes everything look weird and not natural.
