I am so confused on all the info I learn and pitting it to use in my tank. Have 5 acros 2 that are doing well and a couple that had burnt tips.
Tank is about year and a half.
Alk - 8.3-8.6
Ph - 8.0-8.2
Nitrates - 15
Phosphate - 0.13-0.16
Calcium - 455
Magnesium - 1365
Temp - 77-78
Salinity - 1.026
x3 mp40s antisync - reefcrest 90%
t5/radion(x4) with par no higher than 300
From a local that sold me my frags, said that alk is likely too high but nutrients are pretty decent. He has large colonies. Then I am told by others or read that. Alk where mine is now is perfect too. He also keeps his par no higher then 280.
Just not sure how to keep my acro frags thriving so they can encrust, and eventually grow into mini colonies instead of tips burning out and dying. Please help.
