Acro to browning out

[griss]

Uggg, that stinks.

That does stink. I keep one of these on hand to help with those issues:

Flexible Claw Grabber

They’ll need to be replaced every now and then as they do rust some but has saved a few frags

If I could see it I’d get it out but the rock it’s behind has 10kg of rock on top and I’m not into rescaping again
Besides, I’m not a fan of acros, it was a 15e frag to see if it survived ahead of a large monti order which comes tuesday

Heresy

 

[Scotty333!!!]

Nitrates are 20 this morning so I’ll do 1 more dose and leave it be

 

[Scotty333!!!]

Acro recovered with no rock tumble, good old wire coat hanger did the trick

 

[Scotty333!!!]

Nice drop in nitrates since the early morning test ,, was 25 now 10-15

I might have missed it but how old is the system?

 

[Scotty333!!!]

8 years mate

Ok. Are there other acros in the tank? It doesn't look bad from your last picture. It could have just been the stress and given a little time, it will come back.

 

[Scotty333!!!]

No other across mate , it was a water quality tester frag which is basing out now , colours still a little brown tgough

80 par, poor bugger
New lights on order

 

[lemalon]

Acros are mostly high light. I would not pay much attention to what a lfs lighting, most but not all have too low of lighting to begin with so raise it up slowly to more light.

 

[Scotty333!!!]

It’s as high as I can get it, read up , par on it is 80

 

[Scotty333!!!]

10 days of the new lights and it’s starting to go green

 

[Reefing102]

Nice! Looking good

 

[Scotty333!!!]

Going away 5 days so I’ll bet it flouro when I get back cos my lights will be at full blast by then
That one is my test acro frag so I’d say I’m good to go on getting a few colony’s when I get back
