    I want to get into Acro, but nothing I see online blows me away. Any recommendations for acros with good fuzz and or lots of color?

    We have lots of LPS, five different Monties, and tonight we got a Red Planet Acro. I want to get into Acros to keep things challenging and, as bad as it is to say, so I have some difficult corals to alert me to the most minor problems in the tank. I think adapting the tank to suit Acro would...

    Acropora 'Target Feeding' Response with Particulate Coral Food

    Hi guys, I filmed a few species of the Acropora I keep to see what their response was to being target fed Ocean Nutrition's 'Reef Pulse'. The Acropora didn't seem to directly ingest any of the food, but did capture some, only to release it with mucus a few moments after being filmed. I will be...

    New SPS frags!!!

    Reefer 250 around 18 months old. Finally getting the hang of keeping sps. So I got rid of a big monti and went crazy with the sticks. This thing will be packed if I can keep everything in line. I've got 9 more frags to find spots for. I can't wait for these to take off!

    30G LED Recommendations

    I have a 30 gallon tank that measures 24 x 16 x 17. Currently only have LPS but I want to get into SPS. I'm using a AI Prime HD right now, but have had bad luck with SPS. I don't want to run T5's as I want a light that I don't have to keep changing the bulbs. I was thinking of a Hydra 32 HD...

    High light, lower nutrients. Lower light, higher nutrients for acropora.

    Hi everyone. About a month ago I lowered the percentage of my white LEDs + raised the fixture (ATI Powermodule) and haven’t been achieving the same growth as when I was running all LEDs at 100% 4” above the tank with undetectable nutrients. I came across a video of Chris Meckley at ACI...

    Does any other Pocillopora exist in the hobby?

    I've noticed that basically every single Pocillopora coral sold and traded in the hobby is labeled Pocillopora damicornis. The genus has many species of coral widespread and common throughout the ocean, why are no other species seemingly available to the hobby? Meanwhile Acropora, the genus that...

    Acropora Growth

    Is it common for an acropora's polyps along the base retract while a new branch is growing? The upper 3/4 of my Green Slimer frag has great PE and solid coloration while the lower portion is slightly paler with partially retracted polyps. My other acros are in good health and continue to...

    Are delicate corals physically delicate or just chemically sensitive.

    I was wondering how gentle I need to be when handling/touching my Acropora and Montipora. I'm dealing with some red slime (i think its dynos but maybe cyano) and I don't want to use chemicals to knock it out given the many SPS in the tank. however, because of that, I frequently need to manually...

    What are some hardy acropora strains?

    I have a 30 gallon Biocube with a china-box light setup. after having success with plating and then encrusting montipora I have recently been adding some acropora frags to my tank. I don't plan on changing my maintenance and water testing habits to accommodate these new corals although I have...

    API AMMO LOCK wiped out my acros...

    This is mostly a vent about my stupidity. momentary lack of awesome. So I tend to run my pH on the high side (8.5 - 8.6) and everything was looking great. At some point it started to creep close to 8.75 (Tested with Apex, Profilux, and pinpoint. New probes and calibration to confirm) Suddenly...
