The official fuego thread!!!!!

Troylee · Jul 16, 2011

Who's got it??? Post it up!!!! Haha it has to be one of the if not the most sensitive acros there is... I have lost 2 colonies and 3 frags in either the vendors possession or in shipping.... Now that I got a piece I need to know if anyone has found the sweet spot for it.... Being that it is one of the most sought after acros in the game right now I feel it deserves it's own thread...1smile1 Please share some pics and placement etc.... Tia.

I don't have it yet Troy. Everytime I see it on here for sale it gone by the time I'm ready to buy it. From what I hear only a few vendors have the real fuego.

Here is a crappy iPhone pic of mine

it's about 8" under the surface out of direct light lighting is 3-250w de Phoenix and 2-6' 454's and 2-6' super actinic bulbs I think I found it's sweet spit it's polyps are stating to get bright red and so are the coralites

I wish it'd hurry and become a colony though !!

SteezySPS · Oct 15, 2011

anybody have updated daylight pics of their tierra del fuego? would like to see them pls

pciscott · Oct 15, 2011

Couple months ago.

Mine is under a 6 bulb power module at the moment in a few inches of water, par is about 350. It is in random flow and I have never lost the color yet on this frag. I do have another piece that was browned out and it is not back to this color even after several months under similar light and flow in the same tank. Note it is hard to get a top down shot as the water is only a few inches under the coral, but with that said looking down the colors are even better.
