Well yesterday saw an awesome guy that has a love for acros we did an exchange some hammers for a few pieces. That then turned into a few more and then finally i said just give me what you want to lol now here i am in all amazement of how much he was willing to do for a fellow reefer....hegave me some awesome stuff. Asked for a picture of the tank and was like oh yeah you have room here and here and here just kept going....i have some good stuff that i hope to do like he did with me and grow to give....

Keep an eye on that phosphate and alkalinity. Those were my two downfalls for Acros.
Alk holding steady 8.5 to 8.8 depending on time of day and phos .03 to .05 currently. Have the fuge rolling and an very underated amount of gfo rolling....i waited to add these for about a month to see how some other acros would do....so far everything looking great even the frags added a few months ago....the lighting killed me b4 now up around where i should be with 3% increases every 3-4 days til i hit the sweet spot....

Looks perfect to me! But I'm a newbie to sticks.
 
After the crash ive so far lost one burning banana acro and possible pc rainbow. Everything else looking decent and scape holing up so far think the lights are finally in a good spot for % and the torch that has had problem after problem happen to it is looking somewhat better. It had the burning banana frag in it for 3 hrs that frag is the goner. Im thinking of fragging the pc rainbow to try and save it....we will rebuild everything is still doing pretty good looking forward to getting the scape fixed right....

I'd leave th rest of the PC after fragging and th Burning Banana if you haven't tossed them. I'm pretty sure my ROAB Digi was 100% gone but today it's got polyps and flesh. It died back in November/December.

Also, my Acro that fell in my torch dropped half of it's flesh that day but now, about 3 weeks later, the flesh has all regrown.

You never know.
 
Picked up the last one til next month when i got another one coming in....had a guy call me up saying he purchased a whole setup but all he wanted was the fish and equipment....he did not want the tank. Hmmmm yep I had to do it. 210g with another 300lbs of rock trying to make my boss proud with all this rock...... but didnt wanna bomb his thread all together sitting with 700lbs of live rock a 210g tank with stand and canopy... @NightHowlerSystems thank you for being so amazing and standing by me through all of this my rider. When the tanks come in all at once she has literally been my savior...and very understanding. Thank you sweetheart.....couple of pics

This one willget set up after cleaning we have decided to part with the 8ftr acrylic just way to much needs to be done to it. Snagging a fully running 120g in a few weeks to go with this beauty and then set up the 90g nem tank.....
 
Lost will be proud lol!
Tbh he inspired me yes but the wife loves nems and wants her own tank so the 90g was perfect we were looking at quite a few and was so close to grabbing a 60breeder but i thought heck with it keep the 90g and let here run with it. Going to be asking a lot of questions to lost thats for sure.... have a sump for the 90 and return just needs plumbing....210g and 120g were running sytems but with all the equipment we got from the 8ftr setting those two up will basically be plumbing which needs just a couple sleeves and some new bulkheads on the 210 and gate valve on the 120g and they are rolling
