Tank at my Balcony

[cagdason]

Here is a question in less then 1 week this frag changed significant color it start having a more greener look to it. It is not a new coral it is in the tank more then 3 months. It was always red with no green at all. What could be the reason? The only thing I changed during the last week was operating a 36W UV it is running for only 2 days I don't think it will effect the color this fast if it does at all.

Wow what a beautiful tank! Not sure whats going on with that frag but if im honest I really like the new color kinda like a watermelon. Again great tank is it still on your balcony?

 

[cagdason]

Yes it is, you can guess it is very hard to move it but temperature is a big problem besides that it is really fun to have it at the balcony. I like the new color too but it is strange it changed color this fast and it looks healthy so I was wondering if there is a imbalance in some elements like iron or potassium.

Great looking tank ..frag looks like a red planet is it in the lower part of the tank that would give it more of a green color if its high up with more light its red pink color

 

[cagdason]

It is quite high and was at the same place during the color change. Light period is not changed.

Maybe it's just getting its "true" color back now that it's settled in and growing. +1 red planet.

Great photos Çagdas It is nice to see your beautiful tank(which I allways follow up in Turkish forums) , and awesome photos here too . I really wonder about the reason of the color change of that sps frag, though I must admit it looks more beautiful with two colors.

Thanks I want to share and ask questions so it seams like R2R is quite active compared to Turkish forums but I will keep sharing in all as much as I can.

UPS malfunction tonight, and cause the main fuse to shut, fortunately I came home on time and take care of it, it was only 10 min according to the light timers. I was lucky considering it was Friday night and I was out and decided to turn home early.

If that's the case it is a beautiful color. What a great piece man I hope its just changing for the better

 

[cagdason]

Frags start growing so I will try to post pics every week to keep a track.
