Hello all, still fairly new here but have done loads of research.

My question is: How long does it normally take to see the negative effects of improper flow, lighting, and overall parameters for SPS? Obviously the worse the parameters are, the quicker it would show. But let's just say the difference is only marginal, but still enough for general degradation. Is this something that you will see over the course of a few days, weeks, or only hours?

I put in a lot of time and effort into researching PAR, flow, and tank parameters before putting my first acro and stylo frag in my 60g cube. They seem fairly happy at the moment with decent polyp extension and coloring. Just wanted to get a general consensus from the forum.
