(im just not in the market for them) i think so, you get better luck at LFS >for frags<. its that if i want to spend 100+ on a coral itll have to be within my to 5 list of acros. maybe im just cheap.
plus i have a nano so i cant really buy those 7+ inch colonies lol
I asked my lfs and they said $50 per brown or colored down sps colony
What coral is $900 a drag right now? !

i agree with you, i have to many large purchases to make before i can really go acro crazy! lolI dont think your cheap I think it just takes time to sink in, 2 years ago I laughed when someone told me a 1” stick cost $20 and now the coral sitting front row on my wish list is a $900 frag... give it a year and im gonna see you buying designer frags[emoji23]
it wasnt bad looking by any means when i bought it. i did gain alot more color since i introduced it to my tank. ill embed a photo if i find it.That frag your growing on the bottom left, how long have you had it? And was it a brownout or did you purchase it like that? Its really nice

Is it hard to re color them? 50 seems okay like the average for a mid level frag
Jawdropper is more than that like 1.4k personally I dont think its worth that unless you hook me up with a piece after is grows

Okay any keys to stability? I just had a mechanical feeder malfunction dumping nutrients into the system. I lost about $150 in acros and everything else is ****** off. Also got a huge algae bloom

at the highest peak i have 100% royal blue; 90% blue 30 uv, 30 violet, 5 green, 5 red, 20-30% cool white. to me i just enjoy the overall crispness of my settings. maybe ill slowly ramp up the white settings. ive been taught that when using lower kelvins youll get more of a brown coral. but ill try it over the next few months when i slowly change the spectrum.i do know that the warmer kelvins do produce higher growth i just didnt know it helped color alsoThanks! Right now these are cooking under a DIY led. I run 10k during the day and actinics at night. The white the spectrum the better the color pop under blues and 14k. Growing acros under heavy blues you lose a lot of color. When 10k is on the tank looks very brown but its there working its magic because when the actnics come on, BOOM after the cycle is done im running even whiter. I think the corals under T5’s are gonna give me the best results.
