I think the Forest Fire Digi in the background is stealing all the nutrients, lol.

 

[bubbaque]

Looks pretty happy!

Accidently dosed alk instead of calc about three weeks ago. It did not appreciate it.

Anyone else see this and feel immediately compelled to check your corals?

 

[CNDReef]

At what par do you guys have your snipers?
I haven’t had any polyp extension almost from the beginning and wondering if I’m cooking it under 380-400?
I dropped it down last night to a spot getting 200 to see if it’ll show any improvements in a week.

 

[Fishfinder]

Mine is in the 375 range.

 

[bubbaque]

I believe mine is in 300-325 par if I remember correctly.

375 to 400

375 to 400

Do you see polyp extension at all?

Lots of polyps showing for me on all the coral.
Here’s a pic from a week ago. I’ll take a new close up as soon as I get home. Snipers is far left.

I don't have a par meter. Best guess is mine's in around 400-500 par. It's pretty much 14" below a 250w metal halide.

 

[CNDReef]

That’s what I want over my tank.
Waiting on Black Friday to get a whole reefbrite 250w setup unless I find it used before then.
I know there’s something off with my snipe, all the other frags I got from Adam have the polyps out except the snipes. Maybe I’ll put it on my frag rack as well.

Here’s the just now picture. I’ll try I to fire up the PAR meeting before the lights start to dim

 

[CNDReef]

That looks really nice and shaggy

 

[miPapareef]

That looks really nice and shaggy

Thanks

So today I’m reading 290-300 PAR right beside the snipers. Not sure why it’s lower than I measured 5 months ago. Maybe bulbs were new then.

 

[CNDReef]

Going to give mine a week down at the 200 zone , if nothing changes I’ll bring it up to my rack next to the vivid rainbow that’s doing awesome

 

[Fishfinder]

No polyps at all since you got it?

Have you checked at night?

 

[MTBake]

My vivid rainbow frag had no pe for the longest time. I didn't see pe till I changed my lighting. Pretty sure I had it in too low of light.

What fish do you have in there? Sure nothing is bothering it?

 

[kurtp]

Yay! I got a new branch starting to grow!

yup, and overall that is one healthy looking frag. (How much was the second place prize award, again?)

 

[MTBake]

I do have a lux meter. I get 60,000 lux(about 1100 par if my math is correct) at the water surface right above the snipers blue frag. The frag is about 7" under the surface of the water.

I get 92,000 lux in the middle of my reflector at the water surface. I have a Bubblebath Unicorn frag an an emerging colony of Rainbow's Army about 6" directly under this reading. Both doing well. I'm getting the yellow tips back on the Bubblebath for sure
