Power-up your Acro's..........

[LowezAkar24]

I was dosing daily but quickly realized that my glass would be filmed up every 2-3 days which became very annoying to clean. I started dosing once a week again and I see less frequent build ups on my glass. As always, my zoas and Lps have steadily continued growing with well defined colors. My SPS all are pretty much extended and I have been experiencing a lot of new growth. I am unable to determine if Acropower is the catalyst in this new growth or if it is the steady parameters I have. Everything looks great and I will continue using Acropower.

I say steady parameters is the reason not acropower. AND YOU KNOW THIS MAN. LOL BANG BANG

I switched from elos aminos. Immediate cyano growth, after beginning. Switched back to elos. And aminos do make a difference, some are just better than others. Also, I started daily dosing and switched to weekly and now I'm back to 3 times a week with elos... Colors are already becoming brighter since switching back two weeks ago. And cyano is finally dying off after 3 wc a week last 2 weeks.

Anyone else have their sps turn crispy at the tip?Basicly incinerate if you even touch the tip.This happen to some of my sps after I dose AP.Never had this problem before.I stop after the bottle was gone.Didn't see much of a difference

nobody else?

 

[LowezAkar24]

Huuta, what's your Alk/Cal/Mag?

 

[huuta]

all 3 within normal range.No fluctuation.I never really test my water but when I started AP i started testing everyday for 2 1/2 weeks and everything look normal.I also do 5g water change everyday.Been doing that for awhile before the AP dosing

Three months into dosing 2ml a day in my 60g cube and everything looks very good. I have two of my SPS I used as gage for the dosing and they are definitely improved color and growth, one f them is an ORA shortcake. Sorry for the cellphone pics, still saving for a good camera, lol.

Sorry man, I'm not getting any burnt tips with the ap for me. The only downside I've noticed is the cyano. Ive been dosing 4ml a day in my 150, this week I'm switching to doing 28ml on Sundays. Later I may break it down to a couple times a week. I can't say I've noticed much growth or color improvement, but my pe has definitely increased, and that was always an issue with me.

What kind of lighting? How many inches is your lighting from your water. Water Circulation? Nitrate? Phosphates?

 

[spsfrag]

i changed to once a week and not too much difference too early to tell. I do know glass needs a good cleaning two days after the dose.

 

[Msmith2813]

For those who were getting cyano (possibly related to ap) how did you change your dosing regimen to get it to disappear?

 

[ronnie]

Cut mine in half and doubled water changes to 10g per week instead of 5g.

 

[Msmith2813]

Do you dose all at once or throughout the week?
