So do you find yourself needing to feed your fish more with colonies that size?? Like a lot more?? I feed my 50g a lot more than suggested but I don’t have near the coral mass as you.
I feed the same, but I do use a giant bag of Eco EasySPS gel food on a dose that goes in daily to feed the corals and I'm quite happy with (aside from the expense!)

I’ve lost a lot of Acroporas this way. Never figured it out. They would be encrusting and coloring up and then just go in reverse. First, the PE reverses itself. Next, the growth stops. Finally, the coral “dries up”. It will stay like that for a few weeks/months before an RTN or STN event takes it out.

Fortunately, I haven’t seen this happen in awhile now.

Exactly what I’m dealing with. First dose of Cipro is now in the tank, will keep everyone updated on how this goes…

is this from a pill? What size and what dose did you decide upon? Been looking at possibly dosing cipro soon so I’m interested in your results.

good parameters, but some Sps are brown, some get white patches and slowly lose branches( not aefw) whereas others are ok.

I’ve ordered a spectra from geisemann which hopefully arrives Christmas week due to delays in Germany.

What is cipro ?
