Bubblegum Digi

How can I get the green back in my bubblegum digi? It’s growing but only has a tiny amount of green left at the base.
I’ve had it since February, but my tank went through a tough time in April. Everything has been stable for the last 4 months.

Just give it time. I had a serious alk spike two months ago and the polyps weren’t even coming out. Just keep the water stable and it will come around.

The stuff will start growing like a weed before you know it!

You won't get green on a BGD at 300-400 PAR.

Set it in around 200 PAR.

Interesting, thanks for the tip. I may try to place it in a cave to reduce par a bit. It’s already on the outside edge of the tank.
