BC Shades of Fall - Recommended Placement?

[JCOLE]

I recently recieved an order from @Battlecorals last month. The color looked good on the Shades of Fall piece. After 2 weeks in my frag tank the colors faded before I mounted it in my DT. Currently getting around 400 par. Anyone have a recommendation for placement? Should I leave it alone or move it lower?

350-400 par should be good for that piece. Mime is around that range and has colored up really nice. Also loves lots of flow.

I keep mine at around 400-450 PAR and it does well. I tried another frag around 250 PAR and the colors were very dull.

Sure, here is my high light one. Not a colony yet, but getting there. I've fragged it a few times too.

And my shades of fall in 400 par is just brown. lol

It grows well, just never colors up.

About a year and a half. I’d say it’s roughly 4x original frag size.

Nice. Did yours lose color at all in the beginning?

A little as I recall. I usually find the best color from acros occurs once they start branching out.

It's 4:30am, when my lights come on @ 9 I'll post a now picture, but for refrence heres a shot from march when I got the frag from @Battlecorals.

I will say this was one of my first SPS pieces, and one of the 2 that survived from my first battlebox(kinda hard to kill a pocci).

No worries. Nice looking frag. Did it ever have any pink in it?

 

[homer1475]

Nope no pink at all, that pic was just after rieciving my battle box, and dipping.

Now that lights are on, heres a current pic.
