I dose so they stay pretty consistent... Alk 8.4 Ca 420 Mag -- it swings a little bc I dont dose for it daily.. but I keep it 1300ish. Drops to 1230 ish when I dont pay attention.. Nitrates- 3-5 Po4- undetectable on my salfert kit.m wanting to try another brand soon.. Got it - if your parameters are pretty stable, then I'd probably try out what mitten's suggested - look for PE at night. I've generally never seen flow to be an issue with acros. In fact, I'm seriously considering adding a pair of MP40s to run in my tank for added flow. For PO4, I'm a fan of the ULR Hanna checkers. 2 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 @FISHnChix, what does your fish list look like? Any known coral nippers? That could be one other potential cause to look into. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thing is for po4 I havent found a test that my eyes can tell the difference between .03 and zero... probably end up with the hanna tester soon enough 😊 2 Quote Link to comment

FISHnChix Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 So @spectra you ever try and catch a melnaurs wrasse 😂. Little shit has to go.. mine eats every snail or hermit I put in there.. just bought like 10 little hermits and came back in the room and they were all on the sand upside down and ####er was swimming with one in his mouth....😡 3 1 Quote Link to comment
FISHnChix Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 So got a gorg for the first time.. this guy is growing like crazy. Reminds me of marco... now are they entrusting?? This one has covered the frag plug... kinda worried it might take over. Are photo gorgs evasive??🤔 Quote Link to comment

They will attach at any point they have steady contact with, but not hard at all to remove if they grow where unwanted. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Gave up and let the net just sit in the water for 10 minutes with a few pellets inside and the ####er swam right into it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

In my tank they are pretty slow growers. This is a little guy I got from a reefer on here. It was about 2 inches a month ago now its 4 plus tall. Hard to get a picture but the frag plug had a little glue holding it on now its completely covered. It's no big deal now I was just wondering if it would turn into a problem like a Kenya tree or something 🤷♂️ glad to hear it wont take over bc I like the little guy 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thats a sweet little whip (at least I think its a whip). I would not worry about it over taking at all. He just like the environment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
