Is this STN on my Acro

[Mr. D]

I've had it for about 3months now from a 1inch frag but it's been losing color but still keeping some pink on the tips just under the polyps. The polyp extension is still pretty good.

Doubtful. Any changes recently? Light change? Bulb fixture? If so when was last time you changed them? What lighting was it under where you bought it? What are your parameters at?

 

[Mr. D]

New T5 bulbs about a month ago 2 blue plus, purple plus, aqua blue special I think ( the 14,000K bulb) all ATI.

Calcium: 420
Alk: 7.2
Mag: 1350
Ph: 8.0 ish

 

[Dav3]

Your alk is low. Need to slowly raise it.

 

[Mr. D]

Yeah, I've been dosing and nothing seems to get it up

 

[Dav3]

What are you dosing?

 

[Mr. D]

What are you dosing?

Calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium( if I go long enough without a water change

 

[Dav3]

Kalk, 2 part , or...? Try cutting back dosing cal and mag. Just dose for alk.

 

[Mr. D]

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply... All is getting better with coloration from this piece. It is red where the most light hits it but since I balance everything out better the whole piece is brightening up.
