Lol. I think my par via apogee is around 600 on the mother and I saw your pack healing at Adams and it was under led at 100%. I think it'll be fine.

In fact, this is the first acro that really took off for me and is very hearty.

Here's a quickie iPhone shot

Nice man. Some of the richest purple I've seen! I love the thing, in fact I think we should go ahead rename it "The InValida's!"

You are a coral naming genius my friend haha!

 

[Husker]

Looks beautiful.

I just glued mine in the top 1/3 of the tank. I have a 6 bulb ATI T5 (3 Blue +, 2 coral +, 1 purple +) with 10 nanobox LED clusters; I run the T5s for 10.5 hours about 1 foot off the water surface. My red planet turned into a light pink planet, but everything else seems to be doing okay.

Liking my grape juice so far. Growing a bit and getting some color. Here is one month.

What kind of witchcraft is this!? Pretty much every frag I've ever had encrusts and encrusts, then maybe starts thinking about branching.

Might have more flow as that's what mine always does as well

I'll turn down my flow right now if it leads to better branching!

 

[happyhourhero]

It's in pretty good flow. I run 2 rw8 on my 65 on else mode plus the return.

Beautiful! What did it look like to begin with?

Love the grape juice I got from BC. It was one of my favorites until I killed it with an alk spike just before moving everything to the new tank. Fast grower and quick to branch for me, too. (Mine was a little more pale, about 12" from a 6 bulb ATI T5 + reef brites in a ton of flow -- an MP40, MP60, and MP10 in a 40 breeder)

I have only had it since Fathers Day so I think the pic on the left is the first "good" pic I took of it.

Longtime favorite of mine as well! When you get the full three color contrast blast, it's remarkable!

I would be curious to know your lighting and nutrient levels

 

[NATE1979]

Will sps do ok under 2 kessil a160we
On a 46gal bowfront

I think they would do just fine! Maybe not an SPS dominant tank, but if you coordinated lighting placement and your rock scape I'm sure you could pull off most if not anything you wanted!

For me it's just been a waiting game. I had a few pieces brown out within a week or so in the tank, but they are all starting to come back quite nicely. Are your nitrates currently "too high"?

 

[justingraham]

Metalhalides for lights with xho reefbrites

Po4 was .01 and trats were 32 last week
Calcium 500 alk 7.5 and magnesium I could care less

I would be curious to know your lighting and nutrient levels

 

[swk]

This may not be a popular answer, but I don't think the nitrates are your issue. I think your po4 is too restricted. Are you using po4 removing media?
