Help with Acros Dying

[Jamestown]

Absolutely
My skimmer is OFF while my lights are ON.

Never considered this - going to try! Thank you for the help.

You definitely need to get your phosphate levels up. If you cannot, lower your Alk to between 7.0 and 7.5 until you can balance your N and P

sounds to me like a classic case of skeletal growth outpacing tissue growth

Going to feed more and turn skimmer off during the day to get nutrients up. Thanks for the help. If that doesnt work i'll just stop dosing and let the alk drop.

Typical causes:
Excessive water flow
Light too bright
High salinity
High alk
Ph too low
little bugs or flatworm

I would check all of the above

For sure work on getting po4 up to a detectable level. Feeding Reef Roids seems to increase po4 for a lot of people. Nori, pellet and flake foods have higher po4 than frozen as well. Or just dosing po4 directly with Neo Phos or any planted tank phos supplement.
