Lighting for superman danae

What lighting gets the best results?

I've got an old (year old) piece that's under very high light and has done well. I have a newer piece that just isn't coloring up. Where should I park it?

10-14k under high light will bring it right back, in my experience

What kind of lighting are you using? I've got 3 pieces scattered throughout the tank, high, middle, and bottom. I'm using a 6 bulb T-5 fixture and the one at the top is doing the best. The other two are holding their color, but the one at the top is growing like a weed.

you've got plenty of light. not all supermans are the same though. are you sure the small one you got is THE *real* one, and not some piece off a wild one?

Thats what I wonder. There were allot of big wild pieces coming in recently that was being called superman danae. Allot of fragging going on. Its not as bright though. You can definitely tell the difference next to a piece of the real deal. Keep an eye on it and see if it colors up.
