Even with that, all the infill turns out like frosted glass.
I've printed blue, red, and orange transparent, you have to keep the walls thin. It's like the lithos, printing at 100% or 4 walls.

I've read you can post process it with solvents to help smooth out the look, but I haven't tried it yet.

If they are 1mm thick 3 walls should cover it, but set it to 4. Heck you could set it to 10.

Turn off detect thin walls too.

I'm not sure as the overall size of your nem cups( that doesn't sound right....) But, the Groot I printed was 100% and 4" tall and wide and used 72g.

Check your slicer, but I'm bet it's not that significant difference for the nem cup at 10 walls.

Well, I looked in the QT tank this morning before I left for work. I may lose the Acroberry. All 3 of the frags appear to be going badly and the colony is mostly dead in the DT. Pink Cadillac frags all appear to be healed and gaining color back and so does the colony in the DT. The other 2 Tenuis are both completely gone at this point. I may end up with 6 or 7 Pink Cadillacs and no other Acros in my tank. We'll see.

So it looks like I lost the 2 Tenuis but 1 or 2 of the Acroberry may still be good. Still a little pale, but I see Polyps again. I've got some water mixing for a water change first thing tomorrow morning or later this evening.

I definitely lost the big Acroberry frag though.

There's still a possibility for another frag or 2 of what's left of the colony as well so I may grab another couple plugs and try to save some more.

I have much better luck with LPS so I’m sticking to them.
I usually do but I lost my torch and almost immediately after that my Acros started going downhill. I did start running some Carbon though since the Nems have been splitting - wasn't sure if there was some chemical warfare going on.

Found this little dude sleeping on the sand this morning... Not sure if it's from the Hollywood Stunner directly above it or it it's Pink Cadillac... Looks more Acro to me. We're heading out for a walk this morning. I'll get an it and affix it to a plug when we get back then build the stand for the new 70.
