    The color seems to have improved over the last week or so. I haven't really done anything different other than move the rock the Acro was attached a couple inches up.

    Here are the latest pics:

    Thank you

    Thank you

    I'm pleasantly surprised with the improvement. For a while the color seemed to be fading.

    Wow. Amazing growth! And this is under T5's? How close to the lighting is it?

    Thank you.

    I'm using a cheap T5 fixture with ATI bulbs. The light is about 5 inches about the water and the Acro I just moved up a couple inches so now it's about 4 or 5 inches from the water surface. It was about 7 inches from the surface before moving it up.

    It's been a while since my last update and there has been a considerable amount of growth. There are quite a few Aiptasia growing around the base. I haven't had good results nuking them so far. Fortunately they don't seem to bother the Acro. Here are a couple pics:
