Awesome! Very unique growth your getting, thanks for sharing.
 
Your acros are always so bushy! Can you attribute that to anything? Higher nutrient and dirtier water perhaps?

I just grabbed a tiny piece yesterday from a buddy and can’t wait to grow it out. Hows the growth rate on it?
No gfo is my PE secret
This one is trucking along. Encrusted a tiny bit more. Not growing super fast but that’s not the end of the world. Good color and vitality is all that matters to me. My tanks are so small they really can’t handle massive growth haha

Here is mine. I have the hardest time getting it to photograph well and accurately show the green, blue and orange in one shot. I'm still hoping to get the red.

I got a frag a couple months ago. Already starting to see some nice coloring. I'm loving this piece.

TSA Fruity Pebbles in the back of anyone's interested. I'm loving that as well, I would highly recommend it.
 
Nice colors. Do you know par level it’s sitting in?

I believe it's around 400. I'm pretty bias in thinking the T5s I have are the source for the coloration. I shut them off for a few weeks and begun to see color loss.

Interesting. Which bulbs did you use and what did you switch to?

I have a T5s with supplemental LEDs. The classic floating battleship.
