somethings wrong with my brain? (no wise cracks)

I told my wife something is wrong with my brain!....Lmao...you can only guess at the response!;D So I decided to ask the pros.
Here is a couple of shots..

for the past 2 months open nice when MH is on..closes a bit as the CP lights take over



this is what its looked like for two daze...even under the MH.

It responded to touch..but it seems harder now than ever before.

Any thoughts....

 

My wife must talk to yours. lol Have you checked your paras? When was the last time you changed your light bulbs?

 

Lunatik.. Was'up?

Thanx for the response, but....whats a paras...
lights were new when I started..1-13-08. Everything else is responding nicely to my lighting
0630 hrs from lunar to CP (high blue spectrum) 1230 to 1830 CP plus 10k MH, 1830 to 2130 Back to just CP then at 2130 lunars are on for the evenining until 0630 again the cycle starts over....so I cover a morning.. a bright day.. then evening ...to moonlite..
PARAS.. need to know this.
Thanx again.

 

Paras= parameters= water quality. Hows your Sg, NH3/4, No2, No3, Cal, dkh/Alk, ph, Mag, Temp.,

 

Well, Im really feel stupid now.
I am only testing for nitrate, nitrites, amonia and ph.
I am missing some testing equipment it seems.
temp 78
nitrate 10/20
nitrite 0
ph 7.8
amonia 0
salt 1.026

 

What time did you check the ph?

 

is that salinity high? pH is low.....how bout the nitrates? can a brain deal with 10/20? does it need to be target fed? seems it has a pretty good sized mouth there....ANYONE else?

Also, I noticed in the 1st pic it's almost on the sand and the 2nd pic it's on a rock. is it moving?

 

I just came back from the LFS and can you believe it, someone followed me home. A brand new open brain, real beautiful colors, red, green and flor. green. I was curious to see how "good" one of my LFS's water is, so I tested it for no3. WOW, he has his coral tank at 80-100ppm's. I dont know if its that way all the time, but it must be, b/c he doesnt do WC and all his corals look good, some even great. Go figure huh?

 

wow and I'm worried at mine being at 20-40 LOL everyone in my tank seems happy, for the moment...

So Lilly's G I'm guessing that's not the problem....


Luna do you have to target feed them?

 

To be honest, I never did and I had it for a long time. Mine died b/c I overdosed on Alk and lost him slowly. I've read that some ppl do. I have never seen any tenticles coming out of mine when it was alive, not in the day or night. I usually spot feed when I see tenticles like my Candy coral. I will try to spot feed when I get a chance, the only negative aspect about spot feeding is, once you do it, your gonna do it for life.
