For acros...
1. Give your acros 250-400 par if you’re only using LED
2. Feed your fish well and dont obsess and over strip your water chasing low no3/po4. Your skimmer and algae scrubber should be all you need. Acro frags do much better with 5-10 no3 and 0.08-0.15 po4. Don’t worry about coloration until they’ve settled in, encrusted and started branching. I keep my nutrient still 10-25 and 0.10-0.20
3. Don’t let your alk swing more than 1.5 dKh per day.
For life...
1. Don’t get tattoos on your face, neck or hands
2. Use cruise control and come to complete stops if you’re driving under the influence
And
3. Apply sunscreen before you leave the house

HAHA For Life had me cracking up!
Ok so this is very helpful, Thank you! Currently when I check with phosphorous with my Hanna Checker it is always giving me 0 it is the one that test to ppb not like urs that checks to ppm. I think this is why I am not getting any algae growth in my scrubber... So I have started feeding more but not really seeing any increase yet.
Great advice on the Alk I will monitor it close. Currently shopping for a par meter... without fail everything in this hobby is at least 200 buxs lol

Many places rent a par meter, pod your reef, BRS, etc I wouldn't bother buying one unless your setting up systems all the time. The amount of time you use it is not worth the price in my opinion.
When I did my tanks I set the intensity and height for what is good for both LPS and SPS that way I can switch between having full on SPS tanks or less intense LPS tanks, all documented so I can change on the fly.
