Update on acropower
Let me get a bit more detailed in case anyone is wondering. I will try and post some pics this weekend also.
No effect on zoas but maybe it will increase growth overtime. Who knows
I also have lps but only a torch and frogspawn. I haven't noticed any effect on those but I honestly dont pay them much mind some people on here report better lps color but again I focused on my sps and zoas. I also added a favia from my gf 2 days ago that wasnt doing well in her tank so after some time I will report on that.
Sps have gotten a bit more color but nothing crazy. I notice the pinks, greens and reds are brighter. The real prize is in the PE. Polyps are extending so much that they look like they are going to rip off the sps. I have one monti and it hasn't changed. My non acros such as stylo and poci have always been as extended as possible (I think) so they haven't changed much either except maybe in color but even that is minimal if any. Birdsnest looks amazing, I have never seen so much extension on a seriatopora but no increase in colors. What else what else ummm I had a few brown acros on a frag rack that never did much but they are now showing great pe, no coloring up yet but I am hopeful to see something in the next few weeks.
More into the cons:
Algae: I have noticed more algae on my sand but only on the sand. I was over dosing by about 3 mls a week so that may be part of it. Ill see if it subsides but IMO its a small price to pay for the great coral improvement.
Availability: This is apparently flying off the shelves faster than it can be produced. Im kind of disappointed I didn't buy more when I could.
I have used Elos Aminos for about a year prior to this. 2 drops daily. I was told that elos was one of the best and I can say that it did nothing like acropower does. I did not have any algae issue with that though. Again that could be from my human error. Not to mention elos was like $40 a bottle -_-
If anyone wants more opinions just go on the acropower thread on here and read it. Some people even have picture proof. If anyone has any questions, please ask. I hope some of you benefit from this and give it a try.
I am trying to approach this scientifically and allowing only pure evidence to base my findings off of but Its been shown in my tank that it has in the very least shown improvement in acroporas. In all systems? Im not sure but I encourage others to try. Its only $7 a bottle!
Here is one example in a milli
EDIT: Just to add to this ramble a bit more. No environmental factors have been manipulated during this trial. This includes: lighting, flow, feedings, new fish, waterchanges, alk/cal levels, etc. I have added new coral but..comeon that cant be it lol
