I am pretty new to keeping sps how long does it take for an acro to really start to color up after you get it in your tank?

It really depends on your lighting, the parameters of your tank and what the sps frag is.

I have noticed it takes about 2 months for color to start balancing out in a new peice of SPS. Wether you get it as a frag from somone or a peice from the store. Not to bag or anything but most sps receive about a 4500k spectrum in the wild. so in saying that you will get sweet color but you may limit some sps peices color and helth potential. I recomend 10ks to make the corals thrive and actinic VHOs to bring out the colors for astetics. IMO but to each their own.
