Go Dubs! I’ve notice most acro coloring up happened on the new growth. Definitely need to just keep parameters stable and give it time. You boosting your pH with anything?
@@todd3024 man I’m happy asf after that win lmao. Definitely time will help. Nothing specific for pH besides a sodium hydroxide 2 part. Was thinking of adding a co2 scrubber but seems like an unnecessary hassle.
@@himmat_dhillon I was in the same place as you early last year. Then I started dosing Kalkwasser and caring about my pH and everything exploded. Went from 7.7 to 8.4 pH. Polyps came out, encrusting accelerated and the new growth showed real colors.
@@airplanefixer5813 thank you! Had them at 50% and was shocked at how low par they were giving out. Did a 60 day acclimation to 90% and across looking way better
Only thing I suggest is keep on doing ICP test and dose / adjust your elements until its with in range. I spent over $1000 in ICP tests and dosing. Done like 6-8 tests and have like 10 bottles of elements in a span of 3-4 months to get the dosing spot on. Yes it can cost $ , but then with the modern SPS it requires stable and perfect elemental water. Unlike 10-15 yrs ago with basic SPS and corals that were mainly just single colors of green , red, orange the normal water changes is enough. Tenius are hardest to bring out the colors and require a good balance of the trace / major elements. Encrusting/growing just means KH and Cal is good amounts. That is why your Cal was low because your corals are growing.
@@marcuswong1797 u are completely right. Definitely considering something similar to moon shiners method. I just found that my calcium 2 part is sucking in air bubbles which was messing with the dosing. Would explain why it was dropping quickly. Spending money on tests and elements would definitely be worth it in the future.
@@JeepinReefer406 icp said mag and calcium slightly low. Mag at 1330 and calcium at 410. Checked the doser and it looks like it was pulling some air bubbles which was messing with the dosing. Potassium and Iodine were also low so just been doing water changes to bring everything up. All acros are already looking slightly better👌🏾
@@himmat_dhillon That Magnesium and Calcium aren't that bad. I'm sure those will be corrected now with the water changes and fixing the doser. Low potassium and Iodine can definitely cause paling across. I'm glad to hear they are on the mend!
Tonight's game wasn't much ever, it's an injury train 😢 . If you're in the Bay also, check out our club Bay Area Reefers, we've got a frag swap coming up next month.
@@thomasdirocco Yea hopefully curry is fine which I think he will be. Draymond also gotta stay on the court. Once kuminga is back we will be top 4 in the league. Currently in Vegas but go there all the time so will check it out.
Awesome tank man! Can’t wait too see how this grows through the channel , subscribed!
@@steezustchrist7904 thanks man I appreciate it!
Looking good. Thanks for sharing.
@@queencityreefs 🙏🏾
Beautiful tank can't wait to see what's next

Beautiful tank! What is the total light intensity you are using on the Radions and what template?
@@airplanefixer5813 thank you! I’m running AB+ at 9% for around 8 hours with 1 hour ramp times
Sorry, 9%?
@@airplanefixer5813 90* my bad
😂 Awesome thanks! I’m still dialing in my Radions. Once again, beautiful tank!

What’s your par at?
@@JeepinReefer406 around 300-350 where the acros are and around 220 on sanded
@himmat_dhillon definitely not that then. I'd definitely do an icp test.
