45 gallons Acros tank

[RussiReef]

MR Vwhy did you choose reef roids to feed acro ?

 

[Mr V]

Such a cool view isn't it?[emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Sometimes I think to myself, what do acros have that I love them so much? I am not a kid anymore, then why I'm keep chasing colorful sticks?[emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]

Never bored looking at this hairy Pikachu. [emoji15]

This acro is amazing! One of the must have!

How often are you doing water changes?

My goal is 1 a week (5gallons). But I always too busy to do it. So I change one (10 gallons) per couple weeks.

MR Vwhy did you choose reef roids to feed acro ?

First, it's my first corals food and I stick with it ever since. (Never try anything else)
Main reason of feeding is provide some nutrients to the water column, on the other hand I feel that its particles are fine enough that polyps can catch&"eat" (if they do, still a controversy topic).

The wonderful journey you've taken us all on with your tank is so inspiring. You have set a new bar that I will strive to achieve on my next tank. Thank you!!!

Beautiful as always!

What conditions does your Pikachu acro prefer?

I have a good frag that has encrusted but not grown in six months. It has no PE. It is in 450 par under LEDs approximately 14k. Medium indirect flow.

Please let me know your thoughts on this coral.

Thank you,

Kevin

It's in the sweetest spot in my tank right now.
Middle of the tank (500 pars I guess), a lot of flow but not directly. Under led+t5s, but I would say my tank is more like 20k or more. I always like blue tank.
I haven't moved it since I got it ( over a year).
My thought on this coral: it's really a slow grower.[emoji30]

Thank you.
I will have to try getting it more light possibly.

My chaeto is growing out of the water! [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

every time u buy new frags, are those adapt in ur system immediately? or it loose its color and gain back after few weeks or months ?

 

[kevlow]

That photo dump was incredible. It is always a treat to view your acros!

 

[Sebastian Costin]

Great job, MR V!
Amazing colors, lovely acros, all well done!

 

[bowen1022]

Do you dose any carbon for nutrient reduction?

 

[Mr V]

Most of the frag I add keep their colors and develop their color very good.

But not all of them...

Do you dose any carbon for nutrient reduction?

No whatsoever.

Thanks sir.
I am kind of out of idea for photos. And sadly I can't figure how to do video even how many I try. [emoji30]

Is that your fox flame that isn't "doing well "?

 

[Mr V]

Is that your fox flame that isn't "doing well "?

Yes, it is. It was dying, luckily I was able to save the tip.

 

[jvb89]

Have you tried lower light? Mine is great at 300-330par

 

[Mr V]

Have you tried lower light? Mine is great at 300-330par

Yea. I pretty sure it does better in lower light. The rest of the frag I put in my frag tank (200par), recover even better than this one.
But I don't have any place to move it.
I hope it will gradually adopt the conditions and doing better.

 

[jvb89]

Keep up the fine work[emoji106]

I think that he will recover. You have very stable water parameters.
