Hey all!
I have an acantho who is currently unhappy and showing signs of regression.
As you can tell from the photo I have been dealing with dinos, which is showing improvement and is on the mend.
During my time of working through the dinos I let my PO4 creep up to .48, which is what I am assuming caused the regression.
Over the past few days I have been slowing lowering my PO4.
My question is should I do anything or supplement anything to help with its recovery? I was thinking about trying Brightwells Koral Recover, open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks!

IMO it is not the phosphate causing this, .4 is not that high, I've had phosphate that high before..... IMO its probably the dino's, or maybe something else, but I don't think phosphate. Good luck

Do you know how much par the acantho is getting?

What kind of water flow?

How are the rest of the water parameters?
