Thank you for the compliment, everyone’s tank is different , so it’s hard to copy what one person is doing and have success. I’m always learning in this hobby , just when I think I have the tank figured out , something changes and I’m stuck wondering why lol.

As far as the acans go , over the years I’ve went through a couple patches where they just didn’t do well. They would shrivel up one or two at a time , and then slowly melt away , like they were slowly being eaten. I believe it’s some sort of bacterial infection that’s spreads from one to the other , but who knows. Then it just seems to stop , and back to normal. Very frustrating sometimes

Interesting you say that, I started using NOPO4x quite aggressively recently. Didn't have luck with euphyllias even way before I started dosing, but acans have been growing well for me until very recently where they've slowly withered away over the course of months.

I’m using NOPO-X (2ml on the chart per gallon ratio). Seems to be working well, the other day I noticed some weird stringy snot algae stuff in my sump. So not sure.
