Keep us posted, man. And don't rush it. Acros are divas, but when they're happy, they're worth the hassle.

One more thing, rustix. If you're not already, consider using a PAR meter to dial in your lighting. Guessing with Acros is a sketchy game.

Yeah, and if you don't have a PAR meter, some local fish stores will rent them out. Saves you from dropping cash on one if you're not sure you'll need it long-term.

Also, what's your temp stability like? Big swings can stress them out and keep them from coloring up. I keep mine at 78-79 with a controller.

Man, this thread is making me wanna go check my own tank. Maybe my Acros are just being lazy too.
