love my reef
what is the best supplement to feed coral the help with coral growth?? and were to get it
Stoneys grow slowly. Are you sure your water quality and lights are good enough for SPS coral? They are more difficult to keep than softies and LPS.
I doubt it's a missing supplement that is hurting the corals. Not feeding them won't cause them to die, as they are photosynthetic.
I know you said you replaced your bulbs, but what kind of lights do you have? How many bulbs?
And when you say your parameters are spot on, what does that mean? What are your readings for pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, alkalinity, temperature and salinity?
Bubble corals are usually bullet proof and they don't need to be fed. So it's not a lack of feeding/supplementation that is killing it.
Bulbs 2 250wt MH, 4 54wt T5's
Ph 8.6
nitrate's =0
Nitrites=0
Ammonia=0
alkalinity=125.3
cal 480
SQ 0.023
Temp 78.4
Just out of curiousity, where is your Magnesium, and alk testing?
Also, here is the website for that food I was talking about earlier.
Welcome to Reef Nutrition
What are your phosphates at? Do you have any algae issues?

I'm new to the saltwater hobby, but am I reading this correctly? Your alkalinity is 125? So far all of the corals I have seen the sites recommend 8-12 for dKH.
