Acro

[fancy_fish101]

I have some acros bleaching, I believe is it because I was starving then with zero nutrients and I now have been dosing to keep then up. I just got a new acro, and it showing no PE but did show pE after a day in the tank but now has no pE. Any advice will greatly be appreciated.
Parameters;
Phos .03
Nitrate 7.4
Alk 8.4
Cal 464
Salinity 35ppm
Temp 79.4

Phos and nitrates seem to be reasonable to your last test. hold those where they stand.

Also, acros desire hard rock stability in holding your alk.

Sure would not hurt to drop and hold your alk to 8.0 dKH.

There is also things like light par levels, flow or feeding that come into play.

Don’t drive up your par too quickly so that acros have time to adapt. At this point less par is better than smoking acros.
