Here is my January entry, added a little bit to the branches maybe and some color change, maybe a little basing.

This month I par tested and was low. I adjusted light height down 6-9 inches (hehe) and added 2 radions xr30 pros to my mix.

I saw explosive growth in other acros. I might be moving this frag up soon.

Just curious what par yours sits in? Mine is around 250-300 if I recall and is very pale

January submission

I thought pale meant it was getting too much light? I'm pretty new to all this though.

It can also mean not enough nutrition, moving to high light could harm it if it’s unhappy. If you’re new to this I’d recommend focusing on keeping your numbers stable and not messing with it if you don’t have to

Feb submission and initial for comparison. Pretty happy with the growth over three months. Color on the other hand is…. Not as bright as others.

Wow that's some beefy growth! Do you have your tank parameters and PAR available to share?

Par is north of 300 I run 6 bulb T5 with a reefbrite LED bar.

Growth took off when I ran an air line outside to my skimmer and got my PH to shoot up.

January entry @StatelineReefer @Reefing102 @BranchingHammer

Still super pale and no encrusting or anything.

Have you seen any polyps? It almost looks rtn’d but without the algae growth that follows in the skeleton

I have not. With the whites out in the last few hours you can see very light green but I’ve never seen polyps on it.

I do see that green hint you’re talking about.

Doing a water change a this evening and I can see lots of color returning… so that’s good.
