Been waiting to start this thread until my light arrived and the time has come. I started the tank about 4 month ago and being fighting a nutrient depletion but things are starting to take shape and acros are begging to color up some have been brown from the start since i got them as brown mariculture acros but they are starting to show hints of colors.
