Ah I see, I was going to suggest AFR for simplicity.

Or Kalk and seachem reef trace or reef plus a couple times a week. If you want cheap and micros.
I use a few shots of reef trace, then manual flouride, iodide, manganese, iron, vanadium, zinc plus the AFR. Im really ticking money at the wind cause i keep doing 15-20% WC and kinda just dosing all kinds of stuff then get stressed and do ICP. I need to actually dose x amount of each for y days and ICP before and after.

Hoping to get this frag system live so i can have a display back and not be so stressed about if theres enough or too much of xyz in the dang thing.

Getting old sucks. Beats the alternative though

These two can't seem to decide if they're happy or not. They're both labeled Old Glory. The green one seems to get only slight polyp extension but the red is really nice when they pop out. The reddish one seems to be getting a little green to it but has good polyp extension most of the time. But it keeps attracting hermit crabs

Had it for a few months and it started declining out of nowhere about a month ago.

It was never “quite right” from arrival. It frequently would show a skeletal ridge

But sometimes it would inflate fine and hide it

But gradually it would show more and more, and then a second one. And then it would hide them. And then rapidly it declined over about a week and began eroding. I dipped and got a bunch of bristle works out from those skeletal ridges. They were climbing in and making homes in these little slots in her skeleton.

It’s been all downhill since then
Elevated to keep the worms out, it looked better

But then declined again and erosion reached the mouth

I don’t think I’m going to even put it back in the tank. It’s in the kfc now and it is looking rough…

Sucks.

Very hard to find 24k acantho. Over $1000

Oh yea and that orange scoly in front of it was there for months and no compatibility issues. And then one night I walk by and the scoly is attacking my sick acantho. I’m sure the stinging filaments didn’t help anything
