So I added my first acro! Been 8 days so far moved it up on the rock work as I believe it wasn't getting enough light. First 2 pictures are first day in tank and 3rd picture is day 8.
Salinity is 1.026
Nitrate between 5 to 10ppm
Phosphate 0.04ppm
PH 8.2
Calc 450
Mag 1340
Ammonia 0
Tank is 5 months old running and I old schooled cycled with pawns for 3 months and had lights on at 2 month mark.
Other corals are montipora plate doing fine no colour loss at all. GSP but that's fine I know it can handle alot of swings. I have another frag of softy but forgot its name but doing fine and I have BTA doing great fully inflated looking lovely.
I've been in the hobby years stuck to softies and lps but shut down old system just over a year ago and started fresh with everything.
The acro looks like it's lost abit of colour to me polyps not as fully extended as I would like them to be so moved it up high and into a better flow location and hopefully it will improve. All corals dipped and fully inspected before entering main tank.

Also 3rd and 4th picture are when lights are at strongest cycle point where first 2 pictures are when lights are mainly on blues powering down for the night.
