A while ago, i got this one as a freebie for my pack purchase. I didn't see any potential in it, just a normal red acro. Well, I change my perception for it today. Love the red! It's the most red-ish acro in the the right now. Vivid fire garden doesn't have enough "fire" compared to this bad boy.
Also table out nicely [emoji91] [emoji91] [emoji91]

Uh, yes, 13 dkH lol? What happened?!

I don’t know what happened. I test alk every 3 days and everything fine. Then I “forgot” to test for 2 weeks......
My only explanation is because I trim too heavy. Chop down around 150 frags last week alone. [emoji28]

Of course they are not happy being cut, and the consumption rate decline, meanwhile the dosing rate still the same. [emoji848]

..and they are not tiny frags even. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
Last time I test it was 9.7 dkh on 11/04. And I even lower the pH on y calrx because I always keep my alk below 9 dkh.
Last Wednesday 11/22 it was 13.16 dkh.
Suprisingly everything look normal. Not a single one distressed or anything. Because if any of the acro show sign of stress, burn tips I would notice right away.
The only thing I do after the test was raise pH on my calrx a little bit and let it fix itself.
So it’s been 2 day since the test and still, everything look good. Thankfully![emoji28]

Crazy, did you test twice when it was 13.6, and have you tested since? Maybe it was a test error.
