Any reason for that air quality Tim?

Yeah, California.

How will I know if the GHA is starting to die? Does it turn white like black beard algea in the freshwater world?

Probably the fires in California?

Edit: Oops, didn't realize others answered. Lol.

In addition to what Luis wrote, if you're googling for it, it is also listed sometimes as cinnamon grandis paly (or palythoa). Sometimes just brown grandis paly, but nobody likes that.

I had to go to Google because I thought Cinnamon Grandis Paly was the one I have but I saw that there are many that say cinnamon grandis lol

Kev must be having a long rough day. cold and snowy there too!

@kevgib67 are you ok bud?

 

[kingranch2003]

So I snagged some pretty cool acans for a decent price. Does anyone have any tips for long term success, that has kept acans?
I keep the standard parameters, my nitrates stay between 8 and 12, phosphates at .02-.04. I have some low light and medium light areas available.

They don't ship until next week due to weather.

Best advice I can give is don’t set them to close to your Raja Rampage Chalice! Dang, thing took out two of my colonies! Low light and mine did well low at the base of my rock work.

It will lighten up to a light grey, won’t see it start for about a week.

Thank you! After it turns gray will it eventually go away or well I have to pull it off?

Medium flow, low light, The one I have was once dying and I even put it in the shade where it only got light through reflection.
