Question: What are you guys doing to bring out more "orange" in those Sunset milleporas. High light low light? High nutrients low nutrients? High dKH low dKH? Whats your experiences.

High light = more orange with every one I've had

Mine is about 19" below my sunpower fixture and is pretty orange. I'd say low nutrients but I'm feeding more heavily. dKH is at a steady 8 and medium to heavy flow.

Mine's pretty orange. Especially on the higher light side, toward the MH bulb of my Geissman fixture(MH/T5/Reefbrites). It is pretty high up and has a good amount of flow. Low nutrients and moderate DKH (8.5).

Some will say a sunset is a sunset, but IMO starting out with a nice piece is pretty important as well! Bad pic, but this is my Schizopolis Sunset from BC.

Thanks guys. The one I have is Mr.Corals Taquila Sunrise. I just introduced it to the reef. As of now it's shiny emerald green but the mother is all orange with yellow polyps.

Mine is under my AI about 12in from surface. Though it's not from lineage I got this as a frag 5 months ago and is growing faster then my stags. Gets a lot of flow also
