I read so many posts of folks having problems with acropora and the common theme seems to be they can't stop dosing this, testing that, or trying this/that. The tanks that just grow SPS colonies seem to be the ones that abide by the basics of good husbandry. I've had my share of ups and downs over the years, but I've managed to grow 4 or 5 tanks of frags to colonies by keeping it simple, no fancy additives (I'm too dumb to use them anyway).
My basics are DSB, skimmer, calcium reactor, water changes, lots of flow and lots of full spectrum light, then just letting it ride. I do limit feedings and stock fish appropriately so I'm not fighting excess nutrients.
Have we gone too far in over complicating things?
