Ice Fire Echinata

[Y-Diver]

Just got an Ice Fire Echinata a few days ago and was curious about the best placement/current to get the bright blue tips with white base/branches? I currently have it about 7" from a 150W 14K Phoenix bulb that is on for 7hrs with (2) 36W PC actinics on for 10hrs in med/strong current. Tank is 29g BioCube
Parameters Are:
Alk: 9 dKH
Cal: 440ppm
Mg: 1300ppm

Thanks,
Tyler

the higher the better under a 150watt..... med to high flow....

I got mine high up with medium flow. I got it under 250w with 4 T5s.

Be sure to acclimate it to high light slowly just in case it wasnt in high light before. I would say high light med/high flow.

I have mine about 8" under and 10" off center of a 150 Phoenix, strong indirect flow and get good growth and great color. Have fragged it and placed A frag at about the same distance away but exactly under and color isn't as good. With the main colony I placed it at a 45 degree angle and it really took off.

I have mine at the top with moderate flow. Running t-5's. Growing like a weed!

High light and flow.

The color is more dependent on water quality than anything. This goes for anything with blue, or blue tips.

Mine is about 10 inches under my 14K 150w HQI's with high and random flow and loves it.

Nice looking. I had mine up high under 400w and T-5 with moderate flow. It died in a tank crash but was happy where I had it.
