So any pics of corals? Before vs after.
Did they improve with elevated pH?

Just curious my pH lows are 7.7/7.8 and high 8.1/8.2.

Better growth rates! And to the op yes that’s a perfect number!

So just to clarify, “Better growth rates” translates to faster growing acros only?

Or is there something else? Like colour or growth pattern etc…?

If I am not looking for fast growing acros, I am not into business of selling. I just want nice deep colour and healthy acros.

Faster growing corals in general not just sticks… it can affect growth pattern as it’s growing faster and does affect color in the sense as the tips are shooting out quick which changes the color vs a slow growing with stalled growth and deeper colored tips.
