what par do you keep your walt Disney tenius at?

[acropora4u]

i had my frag at 210 par and moved it to 310 par recently, waiting to see how it goes ..what are you keeping yours at ?

 

[Nerdist Aquarist]

I have my frag at about 275. Hasn't done much in a year, but then again I've had other water chemistry instability issues.

375+ seems to really show best colors higher the par.

 

[T-J]

Mine's at about 340. Just added over a week ago. Excited to see how it goes.

 

[Nick Steele]

My best guess is about 250ish add little over a week ago.

My first higher end coral so I’m very excited to see how it goes!

Higher par the better

Higher par the better

Really ? Photo saturation ? Here's some of Danna Riddles PAR observations for a range of corals.

Yes high par unless you like a green WD.

 

[Reefdom]

I think there is a difference between sufficient par for growth and metabolic processes and the amount of par the triggers certain responses in development of various pigmentation.

My WD is in around 250 par, it’s for a lot of yellow to it. I’m slowly moving it up to 400+ as I’ve read that is where you really get the good coloration. Don’t get me wrong, I like mine, but want more of the blues and pinks.

 

[TheDragonsReef]

My wd frag is currently under about 350-375 and only showing yellows. i plan to slowly move it up to 450-500

 

[John Huynh]

I have my bigR at 350 par

Trying to understand the relevance of your link to what par to keep WD tenius at? What are you trying to show?

Yeah, I don't understand this at all. A bunch of general, no name corals listed. Can you explain?

 

[Waynerock]

Here is my Walt colony. Pretty low par never tested but I run my lights on the low side. I would have more pinks with higher par and there is some pink on there but it gets so shaggy you can’t really see it anyway. It all grows fast and if I kick the lights up the Mille tends to start getting too pastel and I get nervous and go back to the old settings. Pretty good growth under prime 16’s though

 

[ScottB]

This is either SCOP or WD. I seem to confuse the two. This is a little more than 24mos growth. But have never had the kind of PE I see on all these pics.

This is in 360 PAR with a lot of turbulence.

Here’s my little guy this was when I first got him. Hasn’t changed colors at all but it has visually grown in the past two week which I’m extremely happy about!

Mine started as a 1/2" nub 2 years ago. They grow fast when happy.

I would be really happy with that! Yours is gorgeous but doesn’t seem to have the polyp extension that I would love to get.

 

[BaysEndReef]

Mine is sitting at around 220. It has been in my tank for a month. It is about 1 1/4" frag. It gets great polyp extension and is very yellow. I am slowly moving it up until it gets to around 350-400. You guys have some great pieces! Patience is definitely key with this tenuis!
