Increased lighting and now?

[NormanB]

I increased channel 3 and 6 on a Photon V2+ 48 from 45 to 55 over a 3 week period and now these zoas look like they are reaching for more light. They were nice and compact before, so what's up?

Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Do you have pictures from several weeks before you changed your lighting settings? One guess is they might be reproducing and competing for space.

Thanks, I'll see what I've got. I don't take a lot of pics as they don't come out very well.

Here is the best before pic I have.

Anyone?

Hey! So looks like you’ve got Mohican suns which are EXTREMELY fast growers. Keeping this in mind, I would frag immediately. This is because they are all on top of each other which could be shading themselves out since the polyp head is so big, this is especially evident due to the mushroom shape some of them on the left have. Try it and hopefully you will see results!

Get an Orphek lens filter kit. Best decision ever for photos.

Thanks footgal. I'm not sure what zoas they are, thought they might be blood suckers, but that doesn't matter.

I'll snip a few for frags just in case.
