3 weeks growth using kessil a360x

Eddie7144 · Jul 31, 2019

So I screwed up the original post. I've had this piece for 3 months I upgraded to kessil a360x 2 months ago. The coral is still coloring up ,I'm curious to see how looks in a few months. This is new growth in the last 3 weeks. Growth is on the right side. Before and after pics.

Well I'm still tweeking my settings, as I have a standard 150 gal tank so its kinda deep. At first my max intensity was 70%, bumped it up to 80 % like 2 weeks ago. This week I pumped it up to 100% intensity. So far no bleaching, gonna keep it 100% for another week to see if it's worth it. If not will go back down to 80%. I also supplement with 1 t5 purple pluse to help eliminate shading.

No lens , I'm poor I just use my phone for pics lol I just measured my lights are 7 inches above the water line and the coral is 14 inches down from the light.
