So for 2 weeks now, I have been keeping my first Acropora frag (green slimer). It had been thriving for 10 days during the light acclimation period. The past several days since the acclimation period ended, the base has been bleaching (polyps still have healthy color.) I am running 2 XR 15 Gen 5 Blue Radions at 70% schedule intensity using using the Coral AB+ template. The acropora is approximately 6 inches from the water surface. All of my other sps frags are thriving: (Birdsnests, monti caps, stylophoras, and Pocillapora). I'm also running an Mp40 and a 2k Icecap gyre @ 60x DT turnover rate.
