Efflo question

[VanDalsenReef]

Anyone with efflos where is it in your tank, flow, par? Anything is helpful

I have the $500 and the Greg C. Both are undemanding. Greg C. In my system has better color (bluer tips) at low par of 250. The $500 grows down and is PAR 500 at top and 300 at bottom. Tank is high flow. Hope that helps!

Maybe you could guess this type then. It's about 16 inches and has an orphek above it and 4 orphek strips and a kessil (half the lights)

I think peak was 300-400 par, I go 100% on all my lights becauze why not for I believe 6 hours out of the 12

$500 is darker with shorter corallites. My Greg C looks similar but greener under 14,000K lighting. Photo 1 is the $500 and 2 is the Geg C. Battle Corals has some nice efflo photos on website you can compare.

Thank you. Pretty sure it's the Greg carol

Thank you for your compliment. One of my favorite.Colony is growing under Radion Gen4, 16K and500+ par

I find them to really like high light too. Not that many do this anymore, but the color on most of these is better with lots of lower K light and then if you blue-them-up, they really shine.

Looks more like a ultimate efflo by bc o

Maybe @Battlecorals could identify it

Thanks! It isn't one of my favorites, yet. Dull green with blue tips. I'm PAR starving it at about 200. It fell off and onto the sand, began to grow and I never moved it. Need to change that! I'll gradually move it up higher to 500 PAR territory and wait for it to blue up. I'm using similar LED lighting with GHL Mitras 7206 at a calculated PAR of 14,500.

Thanks for confirming lighting. I don't care for the "blue" look at all and will keep K values on the white side.

Sounds like a plan. Efflo can handle a lot of par.
