Acropora is Dying:(

[tommer725]

It is doing bad. Had it for about a week. tank is 5 months old but cycle is long over and everything is from an established tank. Did 40 percent water change when I saw it. Sorry for flash.

I only test salinity but do weekly water changes.
1.025

Hang in there, your tank is a little young for ACRO'S. Maybe try a birds nest or even a monti-cap first. Keep trying and keep learning all you can.

+1. Your tank still too new for Acros. Try some easier, hardier SPSs.

Right. I know. It was free.

I have lps and other sps in here but none of them are dying.

your tank is only 20gal, you are probably striping your tank of nutrients from your weekly water changes, sps need some nutrients to survive
nutrients -> amino acids -> photosynthesis -> coral growth

either feed your tank more or dose amino acids or reduce water changes

Not true. Parameter are going to tell us more and why it degraded.
