So where does everyone keep theirs? It doesn't look like many of them are shaded. Do you you need to place the frags in low light, low flow areas? Mine is out in the middle of the tank and it doesn't look as bright as the others posted here.

 

[surfn]

mine is VERY heavily shaded. doesn't turn a very pleasant color in direct light IME.

mines directly under 20k 250's probly 8 inches of water all my chalices are for that matter.

Both are sweet I found a place with the Mummy eye for a real good price.....I think I might buy it for my first chalice.....Then will come the Watermelon(preferably the original).

the original takes forever to grow... I had a frag that didn't do anything for 2 years.... LoLz... and I had babysat by other people to make sure it's not my tank... but the original one is by far the brightest.. if I ever get another one, I'll get a decent size frag (atleast a quarter size with 2-3 eyes)..

good luck James...

yup..

a tiny piece hanging on to dear life ended up making it and developed a few heads... I ended up trading it for my 28g JBJ HQI... I was able to snag another frag from a friend so now I'm just growing this one piece... hopefully I'll get the same result as the one I had before..
