Finally found a local reefer that sells frags every now and then. He had 8 acros for sale so I went over and bought 5 of them. LOL ;Facepalm ;Facepalm :rolleyes:
Probably saved about $400 over retail or online :eek: I may never buy retail again ;)

I was so worried of over feeding and stuff now it’s too clean lol can reef roids help in this situation?
Feeding heavier should help. Roids pumps up phos pretty quick. If you're running a skimmer, maybe run it 18on6off on a timer and see how that goes.

Either more in, or less out.

Here's a group shot of the other 4 . 2 Millepora, a tabling Acro and a Tenuis . Had only been in the tank about 12 hours when I took this so they're just settling in . Me like. :)

Funny thing I don’t have a skimmer so I don’t know how it’s exporting really I do water changes every 2 weeks

Like @Lost in the Sauce said reef roids will raise phosphates quick

I just feed more frequently

Do you run a refugium?

I almost bottomed put nitrates and started feeding daily then back off when I hit like 20 now I’m back down to 2 but my phosphates are like 1
I’m not sure where it’s coming from

I started feeding more or less daily. Maybe skip 2 out of 7

How much water do you change biweekly?
I change 2 gallons every 2 weeks since the bio load isn’t big I have
2 clowns
3 trocus snails
5-9 blue legged crabs
6 nassrius snails
20 dwarf cerith snails
I finally dug my hands into the bottom of all my chambers of my AIO and I had a bag of chemi pure blue in there I thought I removed could that have been an issue? I also have neo phos and neo nitro if I need to use it
