Couple of acro's? Any tips?

[Charley Diesing]

Getting some Acro's over divers den. Any tips for these exact acros? I was planning on just drip acclimating putting them. Then starting them out very low on the bottom of my tank on a frag rack(with magnet)and slowly raising them over the course of about 10-15 days. Then place on rocks under my 150watt halide(14k Phoenix)

All levels are stable.

Ca-410
Alk-10.5
Mag-1360
Temp-80 F
SG-1.023
PH-8.0

Any tips on acclimation, flow they prefer, light intensity, etc are much appreciated!

And of course pics!

Take frags of each and get them encrusted on a plug - especially the colony on the left. Colonies are very hard to keep long term, IMO. Growing colonies from frags is the way to go.

I wouldn't really call these colonies But yeah that makes sense, kind of like an insurance thing if you get screwed you don't lose the whole thing atleast, right?

Sounds like u have a solid plan - I would dip for pest if the one of the left is wild or mari

Yes forgot to add that... Thats very important. I dip with CoralRx. These should be able to handle that, correct? Its only smooth skinned acro's that have a problem, right?
