last I checked, Ca 430. Alk 9 adding 30ml daily of b-ionic 2 part as well. Like I said, other corals are growing ok (not massive growth, but noticeable) this one,nada. Almost like the darn things ceramic. ;)

That is likely part of your problem. Also it looks like an echinata sp. a slow starter but once it gets going it will be out of control.
