I've got both of these, as frags. Neither are growing well. Could you give us a rundown of your conditions?

thanks... i had the ASD Rainbow for awhile... I'd sold bunch of frags and 2 big colonies of it while back (one made fine to it destination, the other didn't make it due to leakage)...... i acquired the RMF acid early spring (i think), it didn't grows/colors until very recent.... i didn't do anything different.... these are my spec:

-total volume-- roughly 120gal (with rock and sand)
-old SWC 200 ext. skimmer with askoll 1500 pump(this is a beast) and ext. collection cup -- i had this for years
- GEO 818 (i think) cal rx.
- BRS media reactors (carbon and phosguard)
- 2 radion g4 pro with 4 T5 ati blue+

My parameters:
alk -- 8.5-9dkh
cal: -- roughly 420-450ppm
Mg: roughly 1400
Po4: -- .01 -.02 (I've been trying to keep this as low as i can)

Water Change: at least 30gal/ month... sometime- 5gal. every week (if there sign of excessive algae growth)--Reef Crystal salt

Nitrates: -- roughly 2-5ppm (I've been trying to increase this to 10ppm)

I dose potassium once in awhile, and Nitrate (stump remover) -- for nutrient..

The only component that i tested mostly is Alk (at least twice/week)...i rarely test others (I believe my cal. rx keeps those in checked)

Still have these?

I have these corals too and I believe they are the the same coral.

Looks good what are your radion settings and where in the tank are you keeping the milli at.

How much par does asd rainbow Mille like? Mine isn’t growing at all. 6 inches away, in a prime light spot, a sunset Mille is growing great.

yes..

that's what i thought of mine at first too... however, the ASD rainbow is growing great, while the acid trip is slow-as-hell ....

thanks.... i'm using the ATI Blue+ program with 85% total intensity and placed them both roughly at/above the middle of the tank..

the last time i checked was roughly around 400-420par....
