Water change

Camera accidentally flipped and caught me ewwww

I forgot these. I just picked them up and they are like goldish in color with speckles all over.

Fav acro no photo tuning or filters. I used my knockoff life proof case for this under water shot. It was a deep green when I got it. Def one of the best looking acros I've ever owned.

Sold to me as red planet.

Slow recovery of this beautiful scan echinata.

Unmaned gold palys with gold specks, grow like crazy.

Awesome polyp extension. Unknown acro but is taking off.

Looking good man!

Thanks Rev, I have been trying to keep up with WCs and maintenance.

 

[swayd]

Just got these but don't know what they are. My fiancé picked them out. They have a bit if yellow in them and red outside green inside and blue center. I think they look like CARs but fiancé thinks they don't because of the yellow line in them.
Anyone have any opinions?

Bad news!
Since I've started skimming my tank has been looking so clean. But my acros started to brown and one bleached all the way. Did I shock them by cleaning up the tank too fast? I haven't ran my skimmer like this for a while and it's pulling some really nasty stuff. I've also been doing more water changes with a larger water volume change as well. Did I mess up in try to bulk up my maintenance routine?

Acros need stability. I suspect you changed things too fast. Dial it down until you're maintaining at the current numbers and give them a chance to recover. They may benefit extra from supplemental feeding at this time.

 

[swayd]

Yeah I figured it was going a little fast and I also noticed that my salinity dropped to 1.021 from 1.024 so I have been slowly raising it since Saturday. It should be back at desired levels by tomorrow.I noticed a couple more acros starting to brown but hopefully they will recover in time.

 

[larangcon]

That's actually a big drop in your salinity that will definitely affect your acros

 

[swayd]

Yeah it is a big drop but I bringing it back .001 a day

 

[swayd]

Salinity is back up to regular.
I am struggling with bryopsis and I think I am going to try to dose H202 this week. I might start tonight and I will take pictures of the most affected areas and see if this method will work for me.
I will be dosing 1ML per 10 gallons for 7-10 days. I would appreciate any advice on the subject!

Day 1
