  1. Vodka works but it'll feed all the bacteria and the cyano may return but worse. A refugium with good macro will be better for long term. It would probably be cheaper and better to just do the water changes till the numbers are closer to the norm ranges. But that's also if you want to chase numbers, corals adapt. It is less cleaning with lower phosphates.

  2. I can give it a home. I have another smaller maroon that needs a partner

  5. I think @CuttleFishandCoralis spot on. Using carbon is a must when fragging or adding corals because they release there own toxins from being irritated.  I've personally spent around 2k on acro frags in the last 4months and lost a ton, i believe its become bio diversity and age. So im taking a break for now on the acros. Only other thing i can think of that does slow or fast damage is temp stability.  Good luck either way. Side note AB+ has aminos in it.
