Looks awesome , Quick questions

Since you said first acro frag, I just thought to ask you a few questions since i have had many heart burns with my first few animals. And would like you to avoid it.

1) Are you monitoring your tank parameters ? And how ? - Asking for long term success
2) Any idea about current parameters , how old is tank ? etc .
3) Dosing regime ? is it established ?

And then the next one - who and where did you buy it from ? :p

I test with Hanna checkers every 4 days Alk, Ca, Mg, Nitrate, phosphate, nitrite. Salinity, PH and temperature is on continuous monitor 24/7

My favorite stick! Good luck with it! They’re pretty hardy but like to brown out time to time..

Unstable alkalinity (not so much a killer) , zero phosphates and high temp are all you need to monitor
Also high alkalinity (9+) and low nitrates kill sps.

What y’all think
