Don't feel bad I can't either & I'm so close it drives me nuts !

I think it really comes down to, if you systems is in a gove and time the system is up.

I know we see all kinds of new systems here that look great when posted. Kind of why I like watching build threads. Boom the system looks awesome and then the build OP stops posting. I could not keep arco's for the life of me until about 1.5 years into my system. They are still slow growers, but what I am learning is, yeah "be patient and quit messing with the system" :eek::D

Some Arco's work in a system and some don't I have also found. Arco's like a higher alk and finding that balance is the quagmire:) I run a dirty system and the acro's grow slower but the monti's chalices and the rest like the balance.

Right! We have seen success in many different kinds of systems with different parameters. The reality is there is no magic number. The magic is stability.
