Those are some amazing looking Acros. Have you tried an amber or orange filter, or adjusting white balance in phone Pro mode? I would love to see some of those warmer colors pop!
I haven’t! I don’t know how to use this dumb phone! Haha.. I bought an orphek filter thingy and it doesn’t work or fit my phone correctly.

Bummer! There should be some kind of "pro mode" where you can adjust the color temperature. Move the slider towards warm( reddish/ orange/ yellow) until you can't see blue in the rocks. Your pictures are great. I think they could use some warmth to bring out all the colors.

The growth you have achieved is incredible! Wowza
Would you mind posting your bacteria carbon dose / coral snow formula. You might have already but I couldn’t find it. Are you using AFR with kalk exclusively. Do you find you have to supplement alkalinity or does your kalk in the ATO help with that.

I dose 6ml daily of bacto balance… my coral snow I use 8 drops of zeobak, cap full of mb7 and use a tsp reef roids, zeozym and fill the rest with calcium carbonate. I’d guess a cup and a half and I don’t measure it cause it really doesn’t matter on that part. My tank does run strictly on kalk top off and 100ml of all for reef daily. I don’t need to dose anything else as it holds pretty solid. Besides phosphate here or there to keep it detectable I should say!
