It's possible. I am not sure what evidence, if any, they had to support the theory, but seems relatively plausible.

I would tend to agree with that theory. The only time I've had success with acros, it was in a tank with very mature rock, including some that had originally been live from the ocean. When I started with dry rock, no matter how stable the rest of the parameters were, they just seemed to stagnate, if not outright die.

And for anyone trying to get into acros: Make sure you test your CA and AlK religiously. A growing acro can consume both of those much faster than you might expect.

Yeah... since I started dosing and testing every day, the growth on my corals is amazing. It makes a huge difference. It makes sense, but is very easy to see as a horrible chore. lol
