coral loss(or other critter loss) is usually grounds for guilt. but for every negative there is a positive! once you can identify the root of the issue of why it bleached/died you can then learn how to correct and avoid it from happening again in the future.seemed like it was "choking" it, idk just trying to make excuses to calm myself down and to not feel guilty

i’ve been reefing for 3years now and i can’t even tell you how many coral, fish, or invertebrate losses i’ve had.
welp, already spent $50 the other day on acros, so...(6 acros) (now 5) and just went to my LFS and got a styloDon’t rush into acros, it’s a recipe for disaster and frustration ime. There’s a lot more to parameters you got to learn too.
Acros require more stable environments and 2 months is not enough time to learn its swings and habits. Look at videos on YouTube, do more research and start with easier corals. Slowly progress onto harder pieces.
My advice, please don’t take this the wrong way, just wanted to help
ye, wish I could just trade all of these for stylos(ik I can, but I paid for these acros, worked for them, wish I could just give them to somebiody for some time with a stable tank, then when mine is stable, I can then get them backStylo is an easier one. Take time stability is key buddy
If you keep up on your maintenance and water change you may be ableye, wish I could just trade all of these for stylos(ik I can, but I paid for these acros, worked for them, wish I could just give them to somebiody for some time with a stable tank, then when mine is stable, I can then get them back
None of the coral in that pic look good.This is the only coral that is dying on me :C all the others are perfectly fine :CCCC
its cuz I had no lighting on, thats just my room reflecting sunlight lolNone of the coral in that pic look good.
Your tank isn’t likely to sustain any SPS until about 6 months in. Some people can fire up frag tanks with existing media or filtration and have success. But your tank wasn’t started that way.
My Acros are the colorful colors that they are supposed to be with room lights or T5s on. Acros should not be brownits cuz I had no lighting on, thats just my room reflecting sunlight lol
Plenty of reefers in NJ that might be willing to help. Reach out to @fishface NJ she can help you out.ye, wish I could just trade all of these for stylos(ik I can, but I paid for these acros, worked for them, wish I could just give them to somebiody for some time with a stable tank, then when mine is stable, I can then get them back
ik, i had sun in my window, my roomlight is a lamp, and for the photos, that was just cuz it was cloudy outside and the 10 year old iPads camera was bad, my acros are all colorful rnMy Acros are the colorful colors that they are supposed to be with room lights or T5s on. Acros should not be brown
