Nice!

Everything is looking really nice! Do you know how much PAR your chitty chitty bang bang is getting? I picked up a piece during the FHC live sale back in March and its doing well (crazy PE on this coral, real hairy) but it lost the yellow tips while light acclimating. Trying figure out the best spot to mount it to get them back. Thanks.

Thanks you. I never had a access to PAR meter so I really dont know. But my tank has 2 hydra 26 old model and 2 T5 bulbs (one blue plus and one coral plus). Brandon told me to put this in a bit low PAR so its sitting approximately 18inch under the light and middle of the tank. This one doesn't like high PAR thats for sure from my experience. The yellow tips generally come once they start growing.

Thanks. That's funny you mention that Brandon said it likes lower light, because he told me high light during the live sale but didn't give anything more specific, hah. Maybe I'll put it somewhere under high light for a bit and see what happens and then we can compare results.

My RMF Acid Trip also has red tips and a green/gold body and yours is the opposite with red body and greenish tips. I run all LEDs (2x AI Prime HD) so I wonder if its the difference between all LED vs. LED/T5.

Anyway, great looking corals. Thanks for sharing.

Lol, his exact statement was..."Dude it’s dope!!! Low-med light it turns wicked but I like it in high so the top turns different from the bottom branches and it grows faster".
RMF and ASD rainbow they both like pretty high light. The more you blast them with high PAR they show deeper shades of red.

Thanks man, I do have one. Its growing like a weed. Possibly I will take some pictures and post it today for growth comparison. But I must say under daylight spectrum it looks like crap. I have few nice one cooking including Pink caddy and some deepwater ones from TGC and they look 1000 times better under any light. I have few interesting ones from TGC, Fraghouse and TCK but my photography skills s**ks so I will try to take some good pics of them.
