Speaking of cats, I adopted Milo from a shelter yesterday. 15 years old and his person had to be placed in a nursing home. Kittens are cute but it breaks my heart when a senior that's been in a home all its life ends up in a cage . But he's mine now

I guess no humans in the house either lol.He says “no cats in this house because cats eat fish and we are fish people”
The controversial, age old question of what temperature is ideal for SPS coral. When researching Acropora Care, I found an article from Reef Buildersthat answers this question based on their coral farming experience. In their article, Reef Builders notes that they found Acropora to show the best coloration at a temperature between 73 and 74 degrees F. However, Reef Builders also notes that for the best Acropora growth, they keep temperatures between 77 and 79 degrees F.
Yeah, 80 does seem high. Easy enough to slowly lower it to 78 and see what the results are over a month or so.Maybe it’s the temperature that’s the issue? I keep my temperature pretty warm (80F).
Could that be encouraging zoox to grow too much?
Acropora Care Guide
Acropora can be one of the hardest corals to properly care for in the reef tank. The Acropora Care Guide is designed to help you grow acros in your home aquarium.reefstable.com
Thank you! I think this might actually be it! I’m almost positive, since everything else was spot on I think.Yeah, 80 does seem high. Easy enough to slowly lower it to 78 and see what the results are over a month or so.
Sometimes acros turn brown from too low nutrients or not the right light spectrum, I think, not sure lol. Your temp might also be playing a factor like said above you are in 26.7.Nitrates: 6.5ppm
Phosphates: 0.15ppm
I’m not sure why the phosphates rose so high. I think it might be because I heavily stirred my sandbed after a while. A lot of crap and garbage came out. What’s funny was I installed my GFO reactor after testing my PO4 at 0.09ppm. It almost seemed like the GFO raised the phosphates lol.
The nitrates were dosed to around 6.5ppm. That was intentional since they were 0.8ppm last time I checked.
I would really wish I can find colorful acropora in super high nutrients. I think my biggest fear of high phosphates is brown acropora.
I have a brown/yellow acros (mariculture). Some parts are bright yellow and other parts are brown. I wish I can get it to look the way it did at the LFS.
I wish I knew what caused acropora to turn brown. I’m not happy with most of my acropora colors. They look brownish to me.
