So my tank has been going about a year, I have probably 10 acros, and about 15 other corals mixed in. I use Red Sea salt for my salt mix the large bag that’s blue and white. So I’ve been dosing fuel and acropower as directed by my friend who has been in the coral industry for some 15-20 years. I’ve never really had great polyp extension or growth from acros and never understood why, I keep my levels pretty consistent and plenty of lighting. About 2 months ago I fought Covid and needless to say I slacked off in my tank for a couple of months just due to lack of energy and just trying to keep my focus on work and kids was hard enough. I started to notice my tank was doing a lot better one day and couldn’t believe it because I had been paying it not attention simply feeding fish and giving it water changes and changing filter media. I was not dosing either of the two chemicals and my polyp extensions was great the corals started to encrust I was seeing new growth and getting more color. Then I decided to dose the chemicals again I was doing 20 ml of acropower and 25 ml of fuel I have a Red Sea 525 xl. So it’s approximately 130 gallons. So I started dosing again hoping I would see better growth and everything just stopped again, little to no polyp extension growth is back to nothing almost. Why is this I thought this stuff was supposed to fuel my acros and spark growth and enhance color. What is going on? Please someone explain this?
