Acro Dying

[Daytonareefing]

I run my Reefbreeders at the same percentage and mine are 6" off the water because of bleaching. That could be it.

Hm. Maybe. Mine are 8" off the water, so I'll try moving it down and fragging and see what happens.

I'm sorry I meant I run mine at 35% blue and 30% white because I had bleaching problems at higher percentages. What would happen is some coral die and some look fine but don't grow at all like there froze in time and now they grow very well. But they do say you should have them 12" off the water and mine are 6" off the water I assume if they were 12" off the water they could run at higher percentages at least my setup anyway. But what works for me may not be the same for you. But I hope that it helps.

The Acro is dead :( I fragged it and put it on the bottom, plus lowered my lighting intensity.

Sorry to hear that. I bought 20 sps frags off EBAY about 3 weeks ago they shipped from Ohio overnight and I'm in Florida by the time they got here over half died from the stress off the heat I think. RTN really bad I never had that happen in shipping before so I split the cost of the package with the guy I bought them from and now some look like they have STN so now a couple are still dieing slow it sucks bad. Just thought I would let you know I feel your pain next time I'm ordering from a company.

That sucks if you are ever in Austin stop by and I will give you a few to try out, coming from the same lights should help.
