Just for grins, I took a pic of one of the frags that had browned out in the holding tank and I'll track it's progress. It's super pale and just starting to color back up. See if you can beat the donor.
White tissue is new growth, right? Ugh, it's pretty bleached, but still has tissue. Maybe it'll come back?

I've struggled to keep acros alive for years. I'm really hoping to change that with this tank and make stability a top priority.
If anyone is interested, I was able to drop my nitrates from 20-25 down to 3 in three weeks just by introducing daily dosing of vinegar and Eco-Balance.
Happy new year all! Lots of color growth for my January update. But not a lot of ACTUAL growth... It's like it keeps growing thicker instead of longer. Not sure what's happening but we'll see where it goes.
Got mine from the meetup at Dave's. A tank transfer, SPS crash, and emergency reboot happened shortly after. Looks like hot garbage, but it's a survivor.
Monthly update. Looking good so far.
