GSP Question

[scubachris]

I have had a GSP in my tank for almost a year now. The first few months I had it it looked ok, then I moved it and it exploded. Looked green and full and spread like crazy. It was that way for about 6 months. Then one day I added some calcium to my tank and poof it disapeared for a week. I did a water change and it kinda came back. Now for the last month it kinda comes out sometimes. Never fully out, and never full like it was. Is this a normal cycle for these things or what? I tested the water this morning and everything tested perfect. I have a 30g with a 130w orbit. Lights the same from the beginning and nothing has changes in the tank. Any suggestions?

i was dosing calcium and had to stop becuse of the same reason.

 

[scubachris]

well what did u do to keep the calcium up and get the GSP to come back?

 

[scottallert]

i switched salts from IO to reef crystals, and i do water changes every 7 days, and my calcium is in good shape.

HMMMM...My calcium is good with the IO, BUT I was thinking of changing to the reef crystals since I am getting more and more corals
Is it really better for corals?

idk but i got reef crystals for 30$ shipped from the coupon codes off -- and my corals look great.
