Tanks been up 10 months.
Parameters:
Alk: 8.3
Cal: 415
Nitrate: 9
Phos .12
Trace is supplied by reef moonshiners

I think i might of cooked then to much when first added. I turned light all the way down to 50% just radions are on. Everything was at 80%.
Lighting Orpheks and radions
I’m thinking they are looking weird cuz i cooked them to much at first.

I am wanting to get a few acros from reefapalooza in a couple of weeks but scared they won’t do well like these.

Any advice or suggestions?

One might have algae on the right most branch? That could be from shipping. Either way, for being new editions I see nothing I would think twice about. Maybe others will tell you they look like trash. Shrug.

#4 looks a bit burnt. Others don’t look bad.
Green slimmer looks terrible the other 2 look fine to me. I think i had lights way too high. What does everyone think?
