Transformation

[lemonade]

Waited a long while to find a decent Lokani coming out of Indo. Took a risk on this one and I think it's safe to say it was a good call.

One month transformation, and I think this one still has so much more to show.

I don't have coral yet; when I do what is the secret to getting that much color in 1 month?

Looks good.

Wish I could pin point where success comes from.. Mature system and stability help for sure. I always have to give credit to my T5s they never disappoint.

This piece is really starting to take off. By far the hardest coral I’ve tried to photograph, and possibly my favorite piece to date. The new growth has a cool icy blue/purple color that radiates off it. I’ve tried countless camera settings but none can pick it up.

Amazing! How many bulbs and which combination are you running for your T5?

Where do you keep it in the tank? These look like a deep water acro but I’ve seen many keep them in quite higher lighting.

Very nice! I haven’t seen any wysiwyg pics of indo lokani that made me want to risk it. For some reason they always look rough and thin skinned.

8 bulb fixture. Usually run 4blue+ 4coral+. Right now I have a 6500k bulb in place of a coral+ because I'm trying to color up some shallow water pieces.

It's about mid-level a little off to one side. Probably getting 450ish par. I have a feeling it would get deeper blue lower in the tank. I might put a frag down near the bottom to see.

I agree, I watched this one on DD for a few days before finally pulling the trigger. Just had a feeling it would turn out to be something special. The light blue/purple Lokani are like a grail acro for me. I'd be content with just this single coral in my tank.

Yea these are some amazing acropora. I have been waiting for a decent looking one (health wise) to show up on divers den since I don’t ever see anyone getting them in but them. I am so sad we don’t see all the popular ones around anymore. I thought I saw a 20k in copps tank when I was there over a year back but I can’t be sure. If it was he was doing it a disservice by keeping it all the way in the corner of that monster tank though! Please update how this one colors and grows. I feel like everything these days looks like a tenuis for some reason

Absolutely stunning. One of my favorite types of coral!
