Just got a squamosa 3 months ago

18" down in the sandbed
under 265watts of powercompact
dont feed and dont add any calcium
its already grown a new lip of shell has dulled a bit though

I have two, a maxima and a crocea. They live under 400w MH, 14k and 10k respectively. The maxima is just off the sandbed and the crocea is about 6"-7" below the surface more so under the 10k light right now.
I don't feed regularly, on occasion I will dose phyto, but I honestly see very little change or impact hence why I no longer dose phyto religiously.
Tank is 0.025 for salinity, it runs between 78-83 for temp, and Ca levels are approx 440 and I usually try to keep the alk at around 7-9 dkh as it seems to impact growth.

I'm not reall sure how old it is, but I just got it a few weeks ago from another reefer on this forum (so I voted a year or less). Its a crocea, and its about 4-5 inches. I have it under 250w MHs at about 16" of depth on the rock work. I have not fed it directly, it just gets leftovers (looking great so far). Water parameters as of today:

CA - 420
Alk - 7.7 (a bit lower than normal)
MG - 1290
PH - 8.22
SG 1.026
Temp - 80.1
NO3 - 0.5
PO4 - 0
