I had a rapid increase in Po4. I did have a random spike in alk from 6.7-7.0 to 7.7. Since my 7.7 reading, I've let the alk drop down naturally back to 7.0. Truthfully, I feel like the damage is done and all I can do is keep parameters as stable as possible. Quote Link to comment

markalot Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Katropora frags under 100 to 125 PAR. Scraggly but colored up quite well. I can't fit the original in a picture anymore. Here's the front half. 3 4 Quote Link to comment

It tends to do that to gain surface area and will then shoot up. How long has it been since it started encrusting? Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hmm might need to get back on this list...🤔😊 1 Quote Link to comment
Beer Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I’ll have to get some pictures up. Hopefully I do better this time. Starting with a much smaller frag. I wish I had the original, that one had a good start with a fully encrusted plug and several growth tips. Quote Link to comment
