Wow.

I saw a Red Planet today and looked nothing that that.

WOW!

Looks more like a Strawberry Shortcake.

Congrats!

Thanks dude!

 

[ValorG]

I dont have the strong green coloration in mine. It has good pink/red though. do you all agree that lower light will bring more of the green out?
thanks
Jeff

I think that is the general thought. My frag was getting blasted with light and has basically no green at all.

Lower light will definitely bring out the green more. I think at the location now my red planet is getting around 300-350 par.

 

[ValorG]

Ya, really like how yours keeps the green and red. Best red planet I have seen. I use to have a like colony but died in a tank crash..

Thanks man I"m sure itll still just turn red/pink when it starts plating but as long as the base/shaded areas stay that bright green, I'll be happy. Sorry about the crash, hope that never happens to me. Sounds devastating.

Can someone else type the word gro*** (g r o w t h)so I know it's not just me

 

[Acro]

I think it's editing out w t h thinking it means the other lol

Beautiful coral!

 

[ValorG]

I would say you hit the sweet spot with nutrients mine is in the same par but I run very low nutrients. When I feed extra or run less filtration I get more green. But I seem to get less gro*** when I have more green.

GRO***! lol And I may of, I basically just keep the phos/nitrates low to where I get very little/tolerable algae.

hahaha, once it starts tabling it will probably look more like one. I use royal blue, blue, cool white(If I make another i may get rid of this totally), warm white, neutral white, UV

I ll try to get a better pic up tomorrow...that is very sweet looking RP, ValorG...

Looks like you have it at the perfect depth. You will get that green to come out with lower light but yours looks like perfect placement!

 

[Rookie J]

Looks good. This is what mine looks like.

ValorG I was the 1st to receive ORA RP in Michigan straight out of the box from ORA to "The Fish Guys" and it looked exactly like yours. Mine had it's Green for years till I Kalk bombed my tank...it then stayed red and lost the green base. Coincidentally,also the same time I switched to low nutrient system.

Looks great, you will lose most of the green once it starts tabling significantly.

HOLY SIZNUGGET Need to the add red planet acro to my list of "acros that I want but can't get because I'm canadian and it makes acquiring these corals exceedingly difficult"

[Girlsfish2]

[MikeAndrews]

my Red Planet is directly under a Radion Pro lens and is red, but I lost the green base. The Green a Planet next to it is green though!
