We tried to acclimate 3 way to fast but they were near dead and we got them for free. They have survived, but they havent shown any signs of top growth and are just starting to show some new root. And I would say they are near 4 months in our system. The ones that were healthy and acclimated slowly are having to be topped every month to keep them below the lights. I dont want to raise the lights anymore. But this is good because it forces development of new branches. What can help is to get a basic book on Bonsai's. Or do some searching on the net. What we are really doing here is creating a small bonsai forest in our tanks. You might find the info on bonsai to be more informative than reading what other reef people are doing.
