In a couple of years... Ty "Kids you need to share your toys with each other"

Kids response "But Daddy, they are my toys, mine, mine mine"

Ty throws his hands up in defeat and walks away. "I guess they got me there."

LOL ;Facepalm

Lol...love it

I took your guys advice... one Colorado Sunburst and two Holy Grail torches leaving my house next week. This is for the better, right?

I hope it’s me ^^^^

Some of you probably forgot I even had anemones didn’t you? I know I did!

I didn't, but then I also didn't forget I can't afford them either no matter how good they look.

Mine isn’t that bright red

What par you have yours in?
I’m trying to figure out which color I like more

Peak spot for coloration I've found is front, center of my Aquaticlife Hybrid light fixture with 2 Radion G4 XR30s and 2 B+ and 2 actinic bulbs. AB+ at 100% for about 8 hrs, blues only for 2 hours, and T5s on for 7 hours. Fixture about 16" high above the low boy frag tank which is about 8-9" of water. Par around 375.

But at 250ish par I remember you saying that’s how we get the deep maroonish red out of it correct?

Yeah, you can get a deep maroon/blood red out of it with lower par and you'll see more green on it as well.

I’ve struggled a bit to get my BR frag to do much. Initially, I placed it in too shaded a spot and it just sat there. Recently I moved it to a higher light placing and it’s started encrusting. Mine is a a deep red with the green highlights.

It’s definitely not the fastest grower and a little persnickety. I’ve been experimenting with it and I kind of prefer it more now with higher par. More of a bright pink/red though it loses the green.

Nice! Those are 6”x3” travertine tiles from Home Depot cut in half.

Thanks! I might move a colony or two to the display tank that I’ve neglected lately.
