Or more specifically, why I have none!
OK, not "none" on all but very little.
Color looks pretty dang good on most.
I have lots of encrusting and some are starting to branch out.
Time in my tank range from recently to nearly a year now.
Parameters are pretty decent with N03 8, P04 .05, AlK 8, CAL 380, Mag 1450
Two powerheads in the tank for flow.
Frags are spread out so flow and light intensity varies.
And I do ReefMoonshiners so all minor elements are within range. If anything gets low it's not for long.
1) Thoughts on why I don't get much PE?
2) What is PE (or lack thereof) a sign of?
Here's my best looking SPS. Best growth so far and best display of PE.
In contrast, you can kind of see the frag on the right has hardly any PE... you just see little dots of the retracted polyps.
Here's a few more examples.
You can see that color is good! PE not so much.
And some of these are Millis! They should be uber shaggy.
