Acro idea

[Charlie’s Frags]

This is a fun thread. I just learned that I’m a new school reefer. I’m conflicted about this revelation.

Here’s the shot of the tank

What setting is your hydra 32 on

I don't believe the RODI question was answered yet either.

Seriously guy, I am happy you’re willing to learn. I can tell by these questions you still need a lot to learn so that your tank of brown, khaki sticks can thrive. I’m seriously happy you’re open to defiantly learning.

One day, You can one day contribute to the hobby, one day. Defiantly.

My daddy’s daddy told me there are no stupid questions, just stupid ........

Looks to me like the first acro in your second set of pics might be about start dying as well.

You think cutting it back will help?

I’m not sure but here is some settings

I switched RODI water . I went from store bought to my own. I gave in and bought a unit. 150 g p/day 6 stage.

That is pretty fascinating. Did you come up with it your self or did you get it from another hobbyist?

Came up with it. I went with what I like.

This whole thread makes me facepalm. Are we all going to ignore the poor yellow tang in this small tank

 

[Cre8or30]

No we’re not. I employed him to do a job. A job well done. He’s moving on to his home. Thank you

How long were these frags in your tank before they started to go downhill?

How many of what type of powerhead/wavemaker do you have and on what strength/setting do you have them?

What salt mix do you use and what parameters does it normally test at when mixed? Are you able to make or buy another batch of water change water? If so is there any way you can perform the same tests on that to compare to your tank?

What test kit are you using to test for P04?

How long were these frags in your tank prior to this happening?

If N03 is 20ppm now after drifting up, how low was it originally? Am I understanding right that it shot up to 20 within a dy or so?

Don't take this the wrong way but your tank age is more mature than your habits are coming across. That's why your getting a little sarcasm thrown at you.

I hate to say it, but I would prob write off these frags and instead focus on getting and applying further input/sanity check on your tank/gear/methods in terms of fitness for future frags. List everything you can describe about these categories unrelated to these frags being on life support.

Verify with others that your lights/flow/export/chemistry/stability are in a good place for Acros and see if there's a few improvements you can apply for a month or two before adding more.

In the meantime let these frags be. Otherwise you could end up spending a ton of money and time trying to save a few frags that will then take forever to recover and grow while creating opportunities for more swings. These frags are compromised enough that they may not be an accurate reflection if current tank status should they decide to live.

fwiw I've had frags go through trauma and hate me for months after the issue that ticked them off has been fixed

I’m not taking it the wrong way. I’m not listening all my eq because I’ve gotten to the bottom of it. 17 years is enough experience to know what to do. After all maintenance is key it prepares us for situations like this. But as far as acros go I’m a newbie. The oldest frag is about 6 months.

I’m using Hanna with exception for NO3. I’m using API for now. The lowest it got was 0 -5ppm. I got the jaebo slw 30 and mp40 both set to wave feature. It all strayers when I switched water...

Triton test is coming Monday. I’ll let y’all know what I’m lacking.

And what exactly was the bottom of it again??
