Been trying to get a good pic of this deepwater acro for a while....hard to capture its' true colors but this is pretty close. The middle color is more green with the ends turning blue.

My Foxface follows me around also waiting for me to scrape algae lol. I use a couple of different approaches to keeping it clean. I have two MP40s that sit on the back glass on the bottom and blow everything up into the overflow (even when I feed I keep those two on which keeps all food suspended). I wipe the glass down weekly and clean all powerheads. In addition I have a few fish (Foxface and Coral Beauty) that help along with some urchins and snails.

What are the alk and nutrient levels?
ALK is normally around 8.4 (although the last couple of weeks my dosing is having a hard time keeping it above 8. Phosphate sits around .08 and Nitrates around 7.

Thank you so much! You should compete in an acro growout competition!

Unfortunately I have no more room to grow out lol. The last few weeks I have been trying to relocate acros that have been buried beneath the larger plating varieties just so they can get some light. When you are starting out a new SPS tank and you see those tiny frags with endless empty rock, you don't plan for their eventual growth as you stack them all within inches of each other :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
