Hey fellow acroheads.

I thought I'd start a thread to document my acropora growth over the next 12 months. I plan on doing weekly acro growth shots and stitching them into a time lapse gif. I will update this thread every Sunday with new growth time lapses!

We're about 5 weeks into 2021, and here's the growth so far:

If/when I do this, I’m gonna make an outline like in expo/sharpie and just put it there and take the shot
That's a big brain strategy...

That’s awesome!!! I’m extremely jealous! Do you have any tips/tricks for your sps?
I unfortunately don't. I think the key is just stability. I don't do anything special besides feed EasySPS and EasyBooster. I can't even be sure what role those play.

I run my parameters at the following:
Salinity: 1.024
Alkalinity: 7.0-7.5
Calcium and Magnesium: Unknown. I don't test
NO3: Near 0 on API test kit
PO4: 0.03-0.08

That's awesome. Looks like your stuff is growing at a really good clip! Thought about mounting my GoPro to the side of the tank and doing some time lapse as well. After seeing that, I might have to!

They're under 2x Reefi Duo Extremes mounted on Ecotech mounts. Par sits between 250-350.
