Acro STN?

[Sean_Jacob228]

I’ve had this acro roughly 3 weeks now. Polyps extend fine. However after lights went out last night I noticed a little white at the base. Does this look like STN? Or just growth maybe. My other acro is also doing fine. Pics below as well as parameters.
Also my blenny says hi

Haha. Great Blenny photobomb.

I’ll leave an expert to advise but I’d be tempted to snip off the good parts and get it on a new frag, just in case.

So, the first daylight pics look fine. However that nighttime pic made me look again. I have noticed that pale flesh in the daytime will look worse at night. Pale not a huge concern, STN obviously is.

If there are some polyps and flesh blending into that white that do not blow right off with a baster, I think it is ok.

Should I do anything about it as of now? Or just keep eye on it?

Sometimes the best thing you can do is leave it alone. What is it getting for light?

Yeah, it was that last pic where it stood out as 1/3rd up the stick.

I don’t know the par. It’s under 2 XR15 pro g5 and a ai blade grow. Blade at 50% radions 70%

If it is necrosis, and it progressed that fast up the stick, it’s probably RTN and you will see considerable degradation by morning. In which case I would cut off a healthy part well above the demarcation and toss the rest.

So i just took this pic. This is tonight. It hasn’t receded any more or any less. No change in 24 hr

How close is it to that power head? I cant really make it out, but if its too close and getting blasted, that could do it.

[Sean_Jacob228]

Do you think that’s too direct?

Do you think that’s too direct?

It’s not too direct. I’d move one powerhead behind and the other in front of the rock scape.

@Miami Reef has a good point about having one in front and the other behind.

Do you have them both working with the AI app?

It looks like it will recover if it has not continued to spread

They are connected through mobius.

I are they at 100 percent?

I have a 3 foot long tank and I run my nero 3 at like 80 percent and my nero 5 at 60.
I would think you'd want the 3s at close to 100 percent and just creating an ambient current throughout the tank. One blowing out in front of the rocks, the other blowing behind.

I would even have a little overlap so they clash and create some gyres.
