I’ve generally struggled with Acros but I’ve got a few that are looking good. These are my best 3

@RiptideAquaculture what par do you keep your acros at
between 300-500. that being said i think the biggest change that's helped my acros the most would be we really started paying attention to the trace elements. icp tests and dosing according to that

Yep on that one already just put in new lights though so it’ll take time for things to adjust

My no3 has been running a bit higher -mid 20s . My po4 was stupid high , probably due to upping the feeding at 1.1. I’ve started lowering it over the last 3 days . Need to take another reading. Mixed reefs are quite the juggling act. My lps and less demanding sps like stylos and Digis/montis never really minded, but I’ve also gotten into good dosing regime for the others (Alk/Ca/Mag/trace) with AquaForest 3+ system and Nyos trace elements. Also doe a few times a week with small doses of iodide and Seachem Reef Plus

What's your alkalinity at? Those levels are a bit high for Acros to thrive unless you're running higher alkalinity to maintain the correct ionic balance. Plus, high phosphate (PO4) will definitely stunt Acro growth if it's not within the proper ionic balance.

Alk is currently 10.0 , Ca 420
