Hey guys! This is my 90 gallon Acropora Dominated tank. All the livestock is less than 8 months old so I’m still waiting for stuff to grow out. The tank itself is 4.5 years old but I lost my entire collection 8 months ago to a devastating tank crash.

My current acropora collection consists of; Trc superbird, metallic Green stag, arc fireworks, rr wozzers, rainbow loom, rr wildfire, vivids confetti, red planet normal, ora red planet, wild firecracker, pc rainbow, rr twizzler, tcg cherry bomb, ssb Heisenberg, wild bubblegum Millie, wild tenuis x3, walt Disney, og jf homewrecker, green goblin, golden rod, rrc rainbow splice (dual tone), orange passion, vivids insanity, poto cofefe, og strawberry shortcake, poto flame thrower, mcc killer bee, rr Supreme, myagi tort, tyree pinky the bear, cc pink highlighter, cb maleficent, wild clockwork Millie, fox flame, og bleeding avengers, Oregon tort, a. pulchra, garf bonsai, cc orange sherbet.

My params are
Alk: 7
Cal: 400
Mag: 1450
No3: 26
Phos: .08
I run 2x radion XR 15 g5 Pros (100% intensity) and 2x ati Blue plus and 2x ati coral plus.
16 hour photoperiod, 2 hours ramp up, 2 hours ramp down, 7hr peak with t5 and 2hr moon light.

75 times hourly tank turnover for flow.

Now here’s the pictures ;)

Nice! Why an alk of 7? Just curious as I run the same.
It’s just where it sits at. My tank already drains 2 liters of kalk a day and raising it will just cause problems. My alk mini swings from 6.5 to 7.5 depending on the week lol

Nice, those are my range with a target of 7.
Ph has been low. 7.7-8.1 and it’s cuz I have high co2 according to my icp. I have a co2 scrubber on the way. Should increase growth for sure! I’m also using Allan Vo’s (coral reef tank on r2rs) concoction and I’ve seen great results. Here are some before and after shots. 2 weeks of usage. I did a potassium Chloride treatment for aefw which is why hw lost a lot of the secondary colours ;-;

Nice! I use KCL as a dip also for the last 7 years with good results.
On my old systems ph was similar and it did not effect growth from what I saw.
My new system will be mostly acros in my 59×30×21 system.
You can follow here. It also has links to some old tanks before I moved.

Have you tried running higher ph before? Yeah I’m always down to experiment and see how it goes. I’ll check it out!

Got some of da heat from fraggarage, I’m from Canada btw. Love how they look right now, pe is great. I’m putting acros on my sand bed after getting rid of all LPS. My sand bed seems to be coloring up and growing acropora great. I’m not active on r2r but I hope to be more active and get this thread off the ground. Ask questions, keep updated!
