ICP Test Results

Any idea why my Bromine is high? Why can’t I grow acro's? I was hoping this would finally tell me what was wrong.

The bromine is low, not high, and is not likely any concern. Some salt mixes used to leave it out over issues related to ozone use and bromide oxidation.

I’m not a fan of the accuracy of this company.

what happens in your tank to corals?

Actually, it is the opposite. Usual 'target' for bromine is about 60 ppm.
If it is right, your salinity seems quite high at about 38 PPT.
Also phosphorus at 0 seems bad news.
Some dosing of iodine (potassium iodade) should also help.

My opinion.

I said high because according to ICP Bromine should be 0ppm.

Let me start by saying stylophora and pocillipora grow like crazy and I’m actually tired of them popping up everywhere, but every acro, birds nest, digi, and even red caps slowly die. The tissue just recedes and it dies.
