The color of acro's tip which I put into my tank 2 days ago was changed from blue to brown. What should I do in order to get back to its original color.
Should I put it on near or far away from 400w MH?
Any comment would be very appreciated.
TIA
 
what kind of lighting was it under before? if it is the same as what you have i would start it at the middle of the tank and move it up a little each week or till youfind a place that you want it. the colors will come back once it adjust to your tank conditions.
 
It browned in two days? What are your Nitrate and Po3 levels? how much flow have you got? Any idea what kind of acro it is? Some are more light sensitive than others. But I am betting if it browned that fast, you have some water quality issues. Fix that and colors will return plus some.
 
It's not abnormal for a new frag to brown, but I think blasting it w/ light too soon will further stress it. I would give it a little time on the bottom to adjust to the water and lights before moving it up.
