Homewrecker guys: how's your pink?

Michael43 · Mar 8, 2017

I've had my HW around a year. It's grown great like everyone knows. I have fragged it and have amazing PE. I have some pink by the coralites but can't get that bright pink that I've seen in some pics? Would love to hear what you guys do. High light? Alk? Nutrients? I mean I'm more than happy with growth. The green is killer and PE is incredible. Just looking to get that pink more involved... pic for fun from a couple months ago

Mine is pink-less still. I did just get it a couple weeks ago and it got a little stressed out with the long transport home.

I was talking with Jason at the LEAR frag swap about colors on the Homewrecker. I get the bright green and pink tips/edges like @Michael43 under my LEDs and Jason gets that under his blue LED/actinic t5 tank. However, he said that under those lights plus 3 hours of MH is when he gets the additional pinks/reds.

Mmmm metal halides, that's right up my alley...

No metal halide here. Just t5 and led

That's funny I asked him the same thing at LEAR. I wonder how many times he gets asked that at swaps haha. I have mine under T5/LEDs but am debating setting up a few halides I have over an LED tank that's plumbed in to my system and putting a Frag in there
