Its opened up quite well during the day actually. Also feeding well this morning.

Personally I am of belief that Current USA fixtures should be used for really shallow tanks and low light corals. They are using 0.5W LEDs, which dont produce high enough PAR for most corals that we keep. While corals may be able to survive with them, they will just survive, not thrive. Other than low CA, as was already mentioned, I would say it isnt getting enough light as well.

The tank is only 12 inches deep, so it would be considered a pretty shallow tank
