I have a acro 25cm under a MH 150W, is it too close to the light? Im seeing little die back, don't know if it is maybe just the move.

Acro's need time to adjust to the new conditions and should be on the bottom of your tank to start. After a week or two, you can move it up a little higher, then another week before you bang it under the light. Also check your ALK, 8dKH to 9dKH are good numbers. I take about 4 weeks with new acros before they reach their final spot.

ok, i moved it back to the bottom of the tank, will move it more up in about a week. thanks

the acro is dieng fast, i can already see the brown fading tio white, can i do? i did a 15% water change yesterday.

Sounds too late! Best is to frag what ever is left. If you lucky, you will get one or two frags to make it. Never a good feeling to loose sps. PM me your details, then I can hook you up with something else.

Selwyn what are your water parameters like? Ca? Alk? Placing an acro up too high would more than likely result in some bleaching as the coral wouldn't have had enough time to adjust to the light output.

I lost a few sps colonies from bleaching. Tried fragging and only 3 frags of about 14 made it.
With a other sps that was allso bleaching i just cut off the part that was bleaching about 1 cm down from the bleached area and the sps made it. Has anyone else tried this?
