Need Help Please.
So I posted about 10 days ago in another forum and the conclusion was raise Salinity to 1.026 and raise temp to 78. I have done these two things but i'm wondering if anyone else would have any more suggestions?
Corals have never really taken off in my tank, I had a growth spurt about 5 months ago, but only lasted a week and now they aren't growing again. As you can see, I have a small Acropora that has completely bleached. My water parameters are as follows, and have always been consistent with these: 1.024 salinity (now 1.026) ( Purple IO) 10.5 DKH 0.00 Phosphate 385 CAL 1385 MAG 8.3 PH 75 Degrees (Now 77.5-78.3) pretty steady, (in a room with AC) All tests done with Salifert / Hanna Phosphate checker.

Your Calcium is also on the low side. Needs to be 420 ish.
What did you use to measure salinity? Refractometer or swing arm checker? Corals will take a while to come around. Especially SPS. Keep things as stable as possible. What's your Nitrate at?

+1 on local. I keep mine at 440. Nitrate is a limiting factor that sps hate. Keeping things stable and using lots of patients is key. Stop watching and they will grow.
