How low light is the Jason Fox Fox Flame?

[Dilan Patel]

Ive always wanted this acro and im thinking I have a really good place for it. I want to achieve the yellow tips with the reddish body. I want to place it a couple inches off the floor of my tank. I have a 180 gal lit by 6 sbreef lights both channels turned to 100% and a t-5 retrofit kit. It would be sitting directly under one of the lights just on the very bottom of the tank. I think I get at least 150-200 par. Do you think I can achieve the coloration. if not do you have any suggestions?

I'm not sure how it will do in that low of light. I keep my colony's in 400-500 PAR and they look like this:

I just got 2 frags from a friend and his was more dark red than the purple of the post above but with the same bright yellow tips. His was at 200 par where it sits on the very back edge of his rock work. I guess it would depend on exactly where the frag was cut and those conditions.

400-500 PAR of what type of lighting?

Mine is sitting near the bottom at 200-250 PAR

It seems to me that the color is more dependent on the spectrum and nitrate / phosphate.

My Fox Flame is sitting in 300 + PAR. I'm not sure why people think it needs low light. I mean it can do okay in fairly low light, but it doesn't get over lit easily either though.

I have read that it produces better coloration at lower intensities. Since I was looking for something that likes lower light this fit the bill.

Mine grows 450 PAR. Under diodes. Less light means darker body

Here is mine sitting in 255 par. Lighting is Radium halide, T5, and Reefbrite combo. The tips are more bright green than yellow in my system and placement.

I don’t take pics of this one much, but I should. Here’s a pic from 5/16/20. Shouldn’t be light once it gets going and happy. My initial frag was. Took time to settle in.

400-500 PAR of what type of lighting?

LED/T5 hybrid. I use Radion G4 Pros on AB+ and B+ T5's
