My First SPS's

[greenmonkey51]

Last weekend I got my first SPS. I got a green M.digita and a purple tipped acro. I had good PE till today. The digita doesn't like something today. I moved it to the center of the tank to continue the photo acclimation and see if it would perk up. I'm wondering though how soon I can add some frags. The tank itself hasn't been up for long, but I used established everything from my 125g.

you would be better off in my opinion to add some screens to your lights then slowly week after week remove some screen making the tank brighter and brighter. if you are moving the coral around it needs to get used to that new spot. it will have different water flow and such and is fairly stressfull to the coral. it can some times take a coral months before it is established and starts noticably growing and that is if you just put it in the tank and never move it

If able to, you can also raise your lights and then lower them over a couple of weeks.
