My first acro
Howdy,
I’ve got monti’s doing wonderfully, a maxima that survived (and is growing after) shipment during a snow storm in January, and now I’m trying my first acro. A little purple and green bonsai from aquashella Dallas. I’ve read and watched a ton of things before diving in. But YouTube doesn’t know it all. What advice would any of you give to your former selves about your first acro? Any replies will be greatly appreciated!

Like most sps, the slightest swing in Alk ticks them off

Thank you outssider. I pretty much have my tank how I want it now, room for my things to grow. However, whenever I do get around to making my next purchase, it will be as you described, a fantastic coral, once I am sure that I know what I'm doing with these SPS I have. So far, so very good. But I'd hate to buy a very expensive coral at this point until I know that I know for sure what I'm doing. Everything I have right now is on the "hardy" side, which is good since it is a nano. I'll up my game for the next purchase.

How large (or slight) of a swing are we talking about? .1? .5 in a day? Like the OP, I'm new to acro's as well and I'm trying to keep my Alk as steady as possible.
Orsamax, sorry if I'm hijacking your thread but, I thought this could be helpful for you as well. |
