High light/flow. Both my SC OP and RR OP love to be blasted with light and flow. I will try and get a pic for you tonight.

A pic of yours would be helpful as well is yours from a growth tip?

Mine are both under Radions. What do you have for lighting?

Orange comes from age, blue comes from tips and growth

i actually acquired a big piece and the sellers tank is having little problems which caused it to discolor a bit, which is another of my worries as to if it would get back its beautiful colors ..

i previously had SC orange passion which i lost in a alk spike .. are they similar in coloration ? SC and RR ?

thats what i heard RR Asia is what i have ..

RRC and SC are basically two colors and RRA is more of a rainbow than just blue and orange

How can you tell what type of orange passion you have?

 

[Sabellafella]

The debate can go on forever but rrc and sc are the same. The frag is a growth tip of the rrc. The sc growth tip comming out has green polyps and alot of blue

The coloration is similar in ways. I like the deeper orange polyps on my RR OP but the base and coralites on the SC OP are definitely brighter IMO.

It's RRA OP that's different correct?

haha no .. i just use basic my own program ..

blues turn on at 9 ramp to 50% at 10 and 100% at 11am
whites turn on at 12 and ramp to 30% at 1 and 50% at 230 pm
whites back to 30% at 4 and 0% at 530
blues to 50% at 8 and off at 10

i should look more into that SPS AB+ program is it nice ?

so it never gets the dark baby blue like on sc op ?

 

[Wilsoni]

Haha we both posted at the same time... My RR OP wasn't specified as being RRC or RRA just RR. I surely don't have any pink but it looks noticeably different and grows slower.

 

[Sabellafella]

It's RRA OP that's different correct?

Yea, asia different in every single way. It grows thick branches and the encrusting is a teal color

 

[Sabellafella]

Its more of an reflection of your lighting color on the growth tips. So yea itll look blueish
