What do you do for your Acro's Tenuis?

[Boxed Fish]

what has it been like keeping SPS corals and tending to the needs of Acro's specifically. The top hardest coral to keep in this hobby and yet alot of us still try and go for gold when purchasing Acro's. What is the biggest contributor to keeping your acro's encrusting, growing and thriving in your system? how do you get light to reach through and under side of the Acro, what headaches have you come across and or head scratchers. feel free to share pics of the sticks

The shadowing thing is interesting...it's not about light it's about feeding.

The problem is that most corals can't find anything (or enough) to eat in an aquarium, so there's an unusually high dependence for aquarium corals on dissolved nutrients and photosynthesis.

Only because of that does anyone have issues with the underside or inner parts of corals losing tissue or not growing tissue in the first place.

Put another way, if someone is able to provide a reasonably consistent food source, then lighting becomes less of a factor.
