Red Dragon Frag FS

Clumsy fish gave me a frag. Asking $60 firm. One inch.

Here's a top down of the mother colony:

Nice piece Jeff! Most of the red Dragon I've seen lately pales in comparison.

Thanks man. It does well in my tank, in spite of my husbandry. I bought my frag at the last MTRC swap.

Where do you have the colony mounted? Any shade or is it directly under the lights? Also, do you know what PAR it is getting? I have moved my red dragon all across the tank and while it is growing, I just can't get it to color up.

Mine is a couple inches off the bottom, unshaded. If I had to guess, I'd say PAR was in the 200's or less. My tank has been neglected lately, and is filthy. That might have something to do with color, if it's different than most.

The filth might have something to do with it! As much as I was striving for an ULNS, I think some NO3 and PO4 is essential to coloration. Frowth hasn't been an issue for me ... its the coloration that I'm hoping to get going.
