First acro, advice please.

Just a quick update.
I have raised the intensity of my lighting and added a new power head, effectively doubling the flow.
And the acro is definitely looking happier and encrusting faster.
Also, since making the changes, I have had to double the amount of Alk and Calc I am dosing (from 5ml of each a day to 10ml) so there is definitley something enjoying the extra light and flow.

I think a lot of reefers with leds think they have enough light but are really under doing it. It looks better in this picture. Keep up the good work and update later.
