Hey guys I just noticed in my nano reef that the new branches coming off my acros are very pale and one acro appears to be having some slight stn. I want to jump onto the issue before it is worse.
I reduced feeding due to a cyano issue and now I think that is what is causing issues with my acropora.

My parameters as of right now are
Salinity 1.026
Temp 76
Alk 7.4
Calcium 420
Nitrates less than maybe .5ppm could be lower. Barley visible looking at the salifert test in low range view.
Phos .03
Mg 1230

Attached are some photos. I may be seeing nothing. Better safe than sorry

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
