Hey Charlie. What lights are you running? Willing to show your settings? Trying get some more color out of my tenius.
3 gen6 radion xr15 pros with the high intensity lens kits on my 50g cube. For now.

Peak par on all acros is around 250-400 from 3:30-7:30 (4hrs). The best growth and colors are in the 350-400 par, like the insanity pictured above, but I can’t get every acro in that range. Hopefully I’ll be able to do that soon.

Thanks for the reply. All of my other acro’s have great color but a few of my higher end tenius are lagging behind. It seems like those of you that are achieving better color run quite a bit less greens, reds and whites. I keep all my blues and UV at 100% and my red, green and whites at around 70. The tank is well fed and has tons of flow. Polyp extension is good. Par value’s are the same. The intensity of the other colors seems to be the only thing im doing differently. May try and slowly decrease those over the next few weeks.
