Thank you. Tank is a little over a year old. Most of the acros are newer a few came from previous system

Hard to pick a favorite, my 30k Lokani is my most priceless piece I’d say, but there are a few others right up there that have that wow factor.

That buzz shot is not super recent, it’s really going wild these past few weeks

How much light do you have those albros under (Bleeding Tree)? My Bleeding Tree doesn't want to encrust and the encrusting edge is almost bleached looking, but I heard they love light so I'm hesitating to move it down. Any thoughts?

Sorry to derail the thread, your acros look amazing!

Not 100% sure but my best estimate, I’d say upper 500s to low 600s. I’ve only had those two maybe a little over a month now from fresh cuts. Got them from @therman maybe he can give his input on best placement.

Hmm, got it, maybe it's still settling in, but I've had it for a few months and all other acros are growing fine... Thanks for the input!

If it is the Bleeding Tree v1, it can handle loads of light, but can also tolerate a much lower amount and plug along nicely and encrust as a green blob that way. Less light should not hurt it at all, and might help it recover if it is stressed. A healthy Bleeding Tree frag should encrust like mad.

Thanks Tim! Not sure what's up with it then... Trying to just leave it in medium light and wait for it to recover, if not I'll move it down lower. Sorry to hijack the thread!
