Acro Question??

[Cibo]

I got a arco from a friend that didnt have luck with it!

The arco turned brown it was in not so good water conditions now I have it in my tank with better light and water. How long shod it take for it to start to color up and for it to get use to better conditions any tips to get to speed this process along?
it not dead just brown. I have othere sps doing well in the tank.

Slowly work its way up in the tank to adjust to your lighting. You should start to see some changes within a week if you are providing favorable conditions.

As stated above. Also go slow with the new corals. As for colors keep your phosphates low (.00-.03) and give the SPS plenty of flow. You can also dose some of the Brightwell products for colors and growth.

I've had browned out corals take 3-6 months before they colored up again, so give it time.
