My 12g long
Hello, I don't post much. I've been a member probably since 2007. I read post a lot though. I've recently had to reboot my tank. It started out as all sps but could never get then to thrive in this tank like I did my old aquapod. Water was always uln and tank seemed just to sterile. Triton test came back good but I couldn't figure it out. Then a few weeks ago I was watching a video of Mike palletta talking about his new tank and having the same problems I was having. The SPS frags just existed and didn't do anything. He and some of his reefer friends that had the same problem all had one thing in common ( and so did I) they started it with all dry rock. I did more googling to dig deeper and there was other people also that had same problems with sps and dry rock. There is also a lot of people that didn't have problems with dry rock and sps. My conclusion was it's a toss up. In my case it happened.
Fast forward after buying new cured fiji lr and rebooting tank. I'm close to being full, now it's time to finalize Coral placement. Most of the zoas plugs are already glued on the branch. I also have red planet, pink lemonade and if sunset Stylo frags not pictured. Scape is not set in stone at the moment. The white frag mag in the middle will also be coming out. It has the acros on it at the moment acclimating to light and water. I received then Thursday. I've saved some space for a few more select acros.

Here is an example with what I dealt with before reboot. This forestfire was going downhill fast
 This is one week after getting the fiji livestock  The turn around is amazing to me. I also finally an growing Coraline. Before it would just far away on any plugs that had it on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah, I would if your experiencing the same thing as your sure it's not any nutrient issue or lighting issue. Make sure it's cured and transport it home in water to minimize die off to prevent any mini cycle.
