Honestly i have never acclimated my sps to light. If they’re purchased healthy, they go directly to the top. Haven’t lost a single frag and i have over 40 frags. Even my 750 dollar frag went to the top same day.

Its a SBB Jekyll & Hyde. It was in my frag rack because i added more coral that same day but believe me it went directly to the top within 10 min of putting it in. Lol doing great so far
What cool freebie did he send?

Yup my acropora go up in the rock work out of the bag.
Got this Palmers blue millopora yesterday.
Healthy acro should acclimate quickly. If I see an issue I reduce the intensity or duration of the photoperiod.
Now LPS and monti I do acclimate. Acro and zoanthids nope. In they go and they almost always open up within a hour.

No freebie although he did give me 15% off since i also bought a Mattv Midnight Madness frag
Bummer on the no freebie but 15% off is never a bad thing

It depends on your lighting and how much par you’re giving them. I would say about 10 inches from the water line is ok. May i ask why you haven’t glued them to your rock?

I normally place all my frags on my frag rack which is set at the halfway mark of my tank (24x24 cube).
My frag rack gets anywhere from 300-400 par alone. I mainly place them there so I can decide later on where I want to place them onto the rocks.

The stick looks good has color. As for glue just go to home depot and buy gorilla glue but get the gel type. Works really good. Add to the bottom of the frag and before putting the frag in, grab your finger and add a couple drops of water until the glue turns a milky color. Rub in the frag with the rock to create a strong bond.Just haven’t got to it the glue I use seems to not be working that we’ll need to order new stuff ya think he’s doing okay?

Browning usually means not quite enough light or not enough nutrients (usually, but not always), and white or bleaching generally means too much light or extremely poor water chemistry.

As for flow can I put him in front of a powerhead? I’ve got my apex running really well and have two mp40s and a mp10 running all at different times for different flow patterns they should like that
Nope do not stick them in front of any direct flow. Indirect and random flow. I made that mistake a couple times.
Sounds like you have enough random flow, so just leave them be.
