how high of light you got it in ? also whats your tank Stats? looking good.

hybridazn · Apr 27, 2014

As of right now it is in indirect light. So maybe 200-250 par at most. This week I will probably move it to its permanent home on the rock work.

As for quick specs of the tank:
180 gallon,display
Radion g1 w/tirs 18k 100%
2x mp40wes in short pulse anti sync
Alk- 9
Cal.- 430
Mag- 1350
Ph- 8.2 to 8.4 throughout the day(monitored by apex)

Other than that I really haven't tested for anything else because the tank never has given me a reason to. I'm about to start a tank build thread, just need to get off my lazy bum lol.

And thanks for the kind words, I'm excited about this piece for sure.

Very nice, I think once you move it permanently in a little more light the colors should pop more. I am surprised there are not more pics of this gem.

Since you dropped my piece off. I guess I should take a pic and hijack your thread. Why start another growth thread when I can do it here hehe
