Should I be worried and do something about my Acros in the picture??

Some background:
These two acros are showing signs of stress. Rest of them are doing fine. Recently (2 days ago) moved my 80 Gallon tank to a new position which required to empty the tank with water in a barrel. Acros were exposed to the air for about half hour. The move may have resulted in a bit of temperature swing as well but I tried my best to keep it as minimal as possible.
Checked my alk today was on a bit on the lower end reading around 6.7 dkh. I normally dose kalk so my dkh normally stays around 8 to 9 dkh. I did a water change two weeks ago and couldn't start my kalk due to some dripping issues. Have started Kalk dosing again but have kept it very slow for now to avoid bouncing back alk to quickly.
