What par you have yours in?
I’m trying to figure out which color I like more
Peak spot for coloration I've found is front, center of my Aquaticlife Hybrid light fixture with 2 Radion G4 XR30s and 2 B+ and 2 actinic bulbs. AB+ at 100% for about 8 hrs, blues only for 2 hours, and T5s on for 7 hours. Fixture about 16" high above the low boy frag tank which is about 8-9" of water. Par around 375.
 
But at 250ish par I remember you saying that’s how we get the deep maroonish red out of it correct?

Yeah, you can get a deep maroon/blood red out of it with lower par and you'll see more green on it as well.
 
I’ve struggled a bit to get my BR frag to do much. Initially, I placed it in too shaded a spot and it just sat there. Recently I moved it to a higher light placing and it’s started encrusting. Mine is a a deep red with the green highlights.

It’s definitely not the fastest grower and a little persnickety. I’ve been experimenting with it and I kind of prefer it more now with higher par. More of a bright pink/red though it loses the green.

Nice! Those are 6”x3” travertine tiles from Home Depot cut in half.
Those sir, are not frags here in the USA, they are the whole farm, LOL. Looking good!
Thanks! I might move a colony or two to the display tank that I’ve neglected lately.
