How much should your Acropora Grow in 90 Days? Let me show you!

Come check out a few of my SPS frags that I have now had in my Red Sea Reefer for roughly 90 days. In this video, I will show you what kind of growth progression an average hobbyist can expect to achieve. I am not so sure my corals are growing too quickly, but I can say that they appear to be healthy! I think things may really take off over the next 3 months...

This growth for new tank is actually good. i can see that halides gives the extra punch!!

Are the initial photos from when the frags were just introduced to the tank or have been in the tank for a while?

Hey @StubbyAcro, they had been in there maybe 2-3 weeks before I took these pics. Gave them time to recover from shipping stress, etc.

Can talk about flow for polop extension & nitrate & phosphate. Do you dose kalcwassser

@zburnreefing 7 ай бұрын

I have a few other videos that touch on some of these. My goal is random flow, but I do have some LPS, so flow isn’t as strong as I would like it (there are periodic rests). Nitrate I am happy with 5-15 and phosphate just needs to be readable. I don’t worry too much about phosphate unless it is 0 or >0.1. I do dose kalkwasser and two part to help maintain alk, ca, and ph. Hope that helps!

Amazing growth, how do get that amount of polyp extension ?

@zburnreefing 7 ай бұрын

To be honest, not sure I do anything special. Random flow seems to help, but mostly I focus on stability, feeding my fish often, and making sure my RODI is pristine - I change out filters and membrane more often than most.

@@zburnreefing how often are you doing water changes?

@zburnreefing 7 ай бұрын

@@TonysCorals I try to be pretty consistent and do them every week. I know that there are many successful reefers that don't change much water and dose trace instead. I just feel like my corals always look their best and perk up after a water change so have stuck with it.

@@zburnreefing I agree I think water changes help a lot especially when a tank is maturing! I have my LFS do a 50% once a month on my 200 gallon. The corals always look happy after. The ones that have bad polyp extension tend to have better extension after

Ypu know whats weird.. is i have a purple bonsai like in the pic before the video.. that ive jad for about 6 years now. And all its done is grown over my entire rock i put it on. Like basket ball sized rock.. but flat and it hasnt grown up. It jist grows accross all of it. Its weird

@zburnreefing 7 ай бұрын

Dang, that is really weird. That is exactly what I don’t want to happen, lol. Did you try cutting it or fragging it some to promote upward growth? Getting good flow?
