    I'm really sad that nobody noticed I was just rehashing what was said in this thread years ago when I replied today :(

     

    Lol I don’t ever question you 😜

  2. Corals adapt the zooxanthellae within their structure to changing lighting conditions. EcoTech has developed research into how corals respond to different temperatures and used that research to create light settings within their products (see attachment). I'm assuming a lot of companies in the industry perform similar research, but I'm not sure who was the first to give proper credit. Anyway, most corals change colors from tank to tank mostly due to lighting conditions in different placement areas. Acans and brains are famous for changing to completely different colors and that's why they're seldom named corals. SPS retain colors more readily, but can also change in reaction to less/more light and different PAR levels. IME SPS turn green/brown with predominately yellow/white light in the 2K-5K range and with high nutrient environments. I personally enjoy 18K for viewing.

  3. I heard it was from high Iron in your water


    How would you get high iron if not dosing and using a basic salt like instant ocean?
    Some of my frags from when I first started are still green. Frags that I’ve gotten over time once the tank somewhat matured stayed the colors it was suppose to be. So was just curious if they would ever color up

    Haha.  There is a rumor that ARC is gonna have a frag swap sometime in the near future and I'm hoping to set up a table then!

    Bummer I told Ty I wasn’t going to purchase a single coral or fish for the whole year of 2019. Your going to make me a liar....😔 lol

  7. Ok tank has been up and running for about 5 months now. Things seem to be a lot better and stable. I have a lot of green going on right now which is fine. I’ll take green over white any day. Took some shots of some of the coral. Maybe one day I’ll get around to glueing the rest so I can take pics of them as well. I have a lot of unknowns right now. Once they fully color up I’ll have a better idea
