Acro help

[TaigC94]

I just started getting into acros. At this time I have 3 acros and 2 millis. All seem to be doing fine, ive had them for a few months. My starwberry short cake acro is living and seems to be growing still but the green part is a really light mint green almost white, but the tips are still pink. Is it possible that an acro has too much light? This acro ive have for 6 months now

sounds like too much light to me, or too little nutrients. What are your parameters?

Alk is 8. Cal is 400. Mag is 1280. Amo 0. Nitrite 0. Nitrate 2. Phos 0. I feed fish twice a week to keep nutrients low. And I put a bit extra gfo and and carbon in the filter now

 

[reefiness]

nutrients may be a bit too low. if your phosphate is actually 0.00 thats generally too low. I like to shoot for nitrates at 5ppm and phosphates at 0.03ppm.

Ill get a more accurate test, in the mean time, should i move it down?

Nutrients are too low you're staving your fish and starving your corals. I would feed at least once a day.

I feed my fish 2x a day. Starving your fish will increase aggression as well.

Should I leave whats in the filter now and feed more? Or take the extra out of the filter?

 

[bonomo53]

I would take the gfo offline if phos is at 0. Also i would feed once a day atleast and shade the frag until it regains some color or turns brown.
