So, a friend of mine, who has a incredible sps dominated tank had some acropora that he was gonna throw out because he didn't have any room, and he couldn't sell it. So I asked him if I could have it and he gave it to me.
I'm a noob with a 20 gallon long tank, it has a protein skimmer and a Aquaclear Hob filter, and about 15 lbs of rock, 1/2 of which is live rock. The tank has been running for 6 months and currently stocks zoas, hammers and torches successfully. I have no doser and dose reef complete biweekly. the light is good except the white lighting doesn't work and I have to use regular white leds, cuz I can't afford a new light yet.
So, keeping in mind how hard it is to keep acropora, how long do you think I will be able to keep it alive. I know fully well it isn't going to survive, but it would die anyway, I take it more like a challenge, to keep this alive for as long possible.
