Hi i would like to ask whether am i feeding too little..I feed my acro twice a week with AquaPharm 5 in 1 coral food.Is it enough???What other coral foods that you guys reccommend other than AquaPharm.I do not want to target feed them.

Is it strange that acro polyps extended during the day???It is growing quite fast but sucking calcium and KH a lot.Thk goodness onli got one acro and identify for me plz.

I dun modify these pics.It has limegreen polyps and it seems i can't provide enough lights nid to add another 2x39 watts light to supply it wif enough light to help and spread the green.I like when it flouresce under actinic.Bought from GO.What other species of acro is recommended for begginers???This acro i jus see and buy dun even care for it's species name but i maintain the right water quality for the sake of it's health.

hi, what u are feeding your coral is doing probably more harm than good, stoping feeding that and go for frozen rotifers and DT's oyster eggs, these are small enough and still fresh for your acros, increasing light and making sure water parameters are good will ensure good growth

I feed my coral with small spoon of Reef Nutrition Phyto-Feast Live, Roti-Feast and Arcti-Pods daily. It includes Acro, staghorn, mili, mushroom...etc laugh.gif !

if you have DSB with all live sand or have been matured you will need no feeding again. because DSB can produce food for SPS corals. if you don't have you must feed them manually.
